I will rejoice

This blog entry - something simple, but a necessary reminder. Have you taken time lately to enjoy your life? This question occurred to me recently as our family endured a home renovation project. We were doing a lot of extra work, getting by on less sleep, and putting up with a constant mess. While I always knew the end was in sight, I also realized that life was still going on and we were missing it for those couple of weeks.

How do we enjoy life? I think the answer lies in taking time to be thankful for everything we have and giving time to relationships. The first relationship is, of course, that with our Creator (this is a worship blog, after all)! After that, we'll have everything we need to overflow into other relationships.

Everyone certainly has particularly busy days where they're just trying to stay afloat. Still, let's enjoy God and everything he's given us!

This is the day the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
- Psalm 118:24
