Joy Day

Until now you have asked nothing in My name.
Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. 
John 16:24

After a prolonged heat wave with very high humidity, almost overnight... 

It seems, the weather has become nearly perfect, with evenings that are cool enough for me to need a light sweatshirt. And it won't be much longer before my favorite season is here. When autumn arrives, the leaves will of course begin to change their colors. While at night, the faint smell of wood smoke will waft into the air as folks from nearby towns start up their wood stoves and fireplaces on chilly evenings.

But aside from this, today my heart was filled with an all-encompassing joy. God answered a prayer of mine, and on this special and wonderful day I was treated to a priceless gift from Him.

Now, however, shortly before bedtime, my heart is very happy, and my soul is at rest. I only wish there would be more days like this one, and I am believing by faith that there will be.

D.B.
