Rejoice

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Phil 4:4

Rejoicing...
Deep...
- penetrating...
- springing up from the depths and washing over and through all that I am or wish to be...

Rooted in all He is, all He has done, all He has made me to be, and all He will ever be for me...

Rejoicing is cheering, laughing, weeping (yes weeping), praising, singing, shouting, applauding...
- all in movement with the spirit - unleashed within -communing with The Spirit, His Spirit
- calling
- drawing
- comforting
- healing
Rejoicing - lasting longer than the game, the event, or the moment ...
- True rejoicing - lasting a lifetime - embracing all we are and all we will experience....

Today... rejoice!

Something to smile about...

The First Kiss
At the end of their first date, a young man in a bygone era took his favorite girl home. He decided to try for that important first kiss. With an air of confidence, he leaned his hand against the wall, smiled, and said, "How about a good night kiss?"
"Are you crazy?" she said. "My parents will see us!"
"Oh, come on! Who's gonna see us at this hour?"
"No, please. Can you imagine if we get caught?"
"Come on, they're all sleeping!"
"No way. It's too risky!"
"Please, please, please. I like you so much."
"No, no, no. I like you too, but I just can't!"
"Oh yes you can. Please?"
"No, no. I just can't."
"Pleeeeease?. . ."
Then to their surprise, the porch light went on, the door opened, and there stood the girl's sister, hair disheveled, in her pajamas. In a sleepy voice she said, "Dad says to go ahead and give him a kiss. Or I can do it. If need be, dad will come down himself and do it. Whatever you do, tell your date to take his hand off the intercom button."
