Simple Pleasures
I love the child like wonder in the simple pleasures of life. Not only the wonder but the pure joy as well! Charis gets more excited about Choo Choo Trains, Garbage Trucks, Rain, Snow, Flower Patterns on her clothes, Blankets and her Night Night Guys. These are such simple things in our almost everyday life that I fail to notice pretty often but to her it is a chance to rejoice, jump up and down and yell excitedly! Sometimes I long for things to be new, that child like wonder, awe and pure joy! We are definitely made us to worship! The question is what will we choose to worship! I pray that someday Charis will rejoice, jump up and down and yell excitedly because she knows the Lord! I pray that I will do this daily myself!!! I know the ONE who created the snow and rain! I know the ONE who gave great wisdom to men and women to construct Choo Choo Trains and Garbage Trucks! I know the ONE who gave creativity to those who put flower patterns on clothes, who make Blankets and Night Night Guys! I know the ONE who sees my sins, forgives me and chooses to love me unconditionally!
“You make all things new
You make all things new
Come redeem and come transform
Come renew and come restore
You make all things new
You make all things new
And forever we will watch and worship You”
