So Many Feelings


The feeling of EXCITEMENT when your neighbors say "YES" to coming to Vacation Bible Camp!

The feeling of GRATEFULNESS you have when you get the opportunity to tell 100 people in two days about how much they are loved by God!

The feeling of WONDER when you learn about a fascinating bird that God has made.  (The weaver bird is so fascinating, interesting and amazing that you must learn about them too!)

The feeling of ADVENTURE when your car battery dies and you have 15 minutes of time till you need to be teaching at Vacation Bible Camp, so you start walking...fast!  (I live a mile away from church and Tommy met me halfway.  Don't worry I made it there right on time!)

The feeling of CELEBRATION for the birthday boy who is one year old, and the SENTIMENTAL feeling that he is one year old! (sniff, sniff, sniff) So many reasons to give thanks for all that God has done this last year!

The feeling of LOVE for Jesus the more you know him and learn about him from his Word.

The feeling of JOY when, from the other room, you hear your son correctly responding to a situation that you have been training him on for months!  And THANKFUL for the opportunity to run into the room and praise him for choosing to do the right thing!

The feeling of ENCOURAGEMENT when you find a book that guides you in training your boys to follow Jesus!

The feeling of PEACE that guards your heart and mind in the middle of a busy week that you KNOW came from Jesus.

The feeling of LAUGHTER when you realize that the middle of the night is the only good time to mop the floors...uninterrupted!

The feeling of DELIGHT watching my boys play well together!

The feeling of THANKFULNESS for a husband who encourages me when I don't feel confident.

The feeling of HUMBLENESS when someone graciously offers an unexpected gift to fulfill a need.

The feeling of HAPPINESS when your friend gets engaged after praying with her for years that God would give her someone to walk through life with!

I am so thankful for the many feelings God has created for us to experience in order to draw us closer to Him!
