Day of Praise

Th, 03/20/14, "Day of Praise"

Psalm 31:7 - "I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have known the distress of my soul."

Recently, my daughter, Cassidy, was driving us to the store. I said, "Can we please turn down the radio so I can hear myself think?" She said, "Can you please stop chewing your gum so loud so I can hear the radio?"

I laughed. She laughed. We laughed. And laughed.

And I chewed louder. And she turned up the radio. And we laughed some more.

Is there any greater joy than being known and still being loved? That's what the Psalmist is talking about in today's Bible verse, where he, in essence, says to God, "I rejoice that you know me and still love my soul."

Such love changed my life and yours. Let's go out there today and pass it on.

Hey, world, here we come with lots of love, laughter, and chewing gum!

Praise God!
