I rented The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh a couple nights ago. One would think a movie rental like that is solely for my sweet 4 year old daughter, Lauren. But actually, the entire family loves to watch it. I mean, really... who honestly outgrows Pooh Bear?!
Every time we watch the movie, I am reminded of when my two older children were Lauren's age. They are now 13 and 14 and yet at certain points in the movie they laugh REALLY HARD, you know the kind of laugh I mean, a TRUE BELLY LAUGH, and it takes me back 10 years immediately because they are laughing at the SAME PARTS now that made them so giggly and happy back then!
So what's the point? Well, it's simple.. and child-like, really. Are you so HAPPY in your relationship with God that spending time with Him makes you GIDDY WITH JOY!? Do you get to "certain points" of your life that bring back memories of your relationship with God.. so much so that it makes you want to LAUGH and maybe even DANCE a little?! Does your God bring out the little girl in you.. filled with child-like wonder at how AMAZING your Daddy is.. and how GLAD you are to be with Him?
I find my God so very incredible.. more and more each day. I would love to hear how God has shown Himself to you in a way that made you want to LAUGH, or DANCE, or even CRY WITH JOY for what He has done.. what He is doing.. or simply a reminder of Who He is to you. Will you share with others today why you are GLAD IN GOD?

Just yesterday I wept at the feet of Jesus as I recounted the things He has done for me in the past year. I am continually blown away at how personal my Savior is. He takes the time to reveal Himself to me, to draw me to Him, to love on me. I love Zephaniah 3:17, "The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." Imagine that. The same God that spoke the universe into existance sings over me. Wow.
