Song of Joy

Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."

Psalm 126:1-3

Last night our home was filled with the sweet sweet sound of girly laughter! Our daughters, Amanda & Sarah, are visiting and two of Sarah's long time friends came for the evening.What a blessing!

The giggles of twenty-somethings are just a sweet as those of preschoolers! Especially when it's been way too long for this group to gather in our home. It was so reminiscent of past times in some ways and so new in others. As Amanda said, "How quickly conversation changes - used to be about nail polish and hair styles and now it's about who's having children!" Some things don't change - making homemade pizza and playing games (& leaving them sleeping while I go to work!) - altho last night was the first time we'd all played Rock Band together!

The sweetest part of the evening for me was realizing how "The LORD has done great things for them." All four girls love the Lord and their lives and lifestyles reflect the sincerity of their dedication and commitment to Him and to sharing Him with others. All are actively involved in both local and foreign missions. Two are graduate students at seminarys. The other two serve in teaching and nursing.

Last night was a special blessing and I know God orchestrated it! I just can't wait to continue to watch how he uses these girls for His glory!

What did this verse say to you today?

My prayer for today:

Lord Jesus, thank you so much for coming into the lives of these four girls at an early age and encouraging them to grow their relationships with you each day. You have so richly blessed them and their families by Your protection of them and the blossoming of each into such fine and Godly young women. Thank you for the plans you have to use them in so many ways throughout their lives. Thank you for sharing them with us.
