Wonder and Joy


This picture was taken Christmas morning as the boys looked down at their presents. There is something about the look on Kendall's face that struck me as "wonder and joy". It is as if he is thinking of all possibilities...of all the exciting things that could be wrapped up in those shiny packages. What a fun time we all had as they discovered what was truly awaiting them as they unwrapped their presents one by one!
This makes me reflect again on my relationship with our Lord. He is Our Gift. And we have an opportunity to know Him more and more, day by day. We will never get to a point of knowing everything about Him, so the possibilities are endless! How exciting it should be for us to go each day before the One True God. Do you and I have a sense of "wonder and joy" as we approach His throne. If not, let's ask Him as David did in Psalm 51:12, "Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me."
