I can’t wait!
Yesterday, I was up a little early. And I had time to breath before the girls woke up. I have a stack of really good books - ones on God’s love for me, Bible studies, women’s studies - lots of good stuff. But none of it is alive, active, sharper than a double edged sword, useful for teaching, encouraging, convicting. Those books just aren’t me sitting in God’s lap with his voice reading to ME. Just me. I needed God’s word. And I read Psalm 31, and the verses were good, and true. And God spoke to my heart. as he always does. I didn’t learn anything that was life-altering (that I’m aware of, anyway). But I was there. I was on his lap. He was reading to me. Peace. Belonging. Understanding. Those are the things I get from being in that place. And I can’t wait to get back there again today.
The girls are up. They are hungry. Things to attend to. And my Father is watching. He is here. He is waiting for us to spend some quality time together. I can’t wait!

Amen to that. I too enjoy the time with my Heavenly Father. There are always things I can glean from His Word.
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us.
Be blessed today and always.
