Today, my devotions tell me, "Do not miss the joy of my presence by carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders."  and to laugh.  And Yancy shares to enjoy the gifts God lavishes on us.  I see the spring clouds, the green grass, the many birds.  An old song from the hymnal comes to me,
Teach me Lord to wonder, teach me Lord to see.
Let your world of beauty capture me.
Praise to you be given, Love for you be lived.
Life be celebrated. Joy you give.

I get the hymnal to read the rest and it is just what I need:
Let me God be open, Let me loving be.
Let your world of people speak to me.
Let me God be ready, let me be awake-
In your present Kingdom my place take.
Teach me God to know you, Hear you when you speak-
See you in my neighbor when we meet.
Praise to you be given, Love for you be lived,
Life be celebrated; Joy you give.   Walter Farquharson 1936

Thanks Walter!  Thanks God!  Surely you are just as attentive to each person on earth.  How do you do it?!
What a mighty God we serve!
