Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Psalm 100:1,2

What a great way to start a new day. The journey through life has so much noise, distractions, stress, worry, broken relationships and at times even anxiety that it is good to take a deep breath each morning concerning the joy that is ours because of the grace of Jesus the Christ. Here we have words such as "shout for joy, worship the LORD with gladness, joyful songs." Something happens to each one of us when we pause along our way to take time to be thankful for the life we have at the moment. These moments can give us such a refreshment that we can see and hear the details of our journey in a new way. On this new day, may you enjoy the Lord and find yourself filled with gladness for the freedom that has been given in his grace. May your continence be refreshed and may all those who meet you see and hear what it is to delight in the Lord and therefore be able to rejoice in the journey. Your smile and expressions from your heart will be contagious.
