Joyful, Joyful

 

The heavens are telling the glory of God; they are a marvelous display of His craftsmanship.  Day and night they keep on telling about God.  Psalm 19:1-2

 

Gary took this picture last spring along Yokohl Drive as we were taking in the splendor God has blessed us with.  I love how the flowers, in all their beauty, are reaching toward Heaven.  We can do the same thing!  We can reach up to our Heavenly Father, open up our hearts and give all our doubts and fears to Him. 

 

Today let God fill you with the His light of day!

 

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

by Henry J. van Dyke, 1907

 

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,

God of glory, Lord of love;

Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,

opening to the sun above.

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;

drive the dark of doubt away;

Giver of immortal gladness,

fill us with the light of day!
