Rejoice & Sing
Last night many of us enjoyed the first annual Wine Women and Song, a Fresno Women’s Singing Group. What joy it was to listen to great music, watch friends perform, appreciate an excellent meal and revel in the silent auction for our desserts.
Following church today I was blessed with a play date with my youngest granddaughter. Although the weather was cool and rainy receiving hugs, singing songs and going for a quick walk with her brought the sunlight into my life.
Through many of these simple activities God allows us to see His gifts in action. Last night the women sang like Angels and today my granddaughter giggled with delight as we played hide n seek; which touched my heart with the love of God.
It is the simple things in life that bring us joy and fulfillment. I pray we look forward to the Advent season and remember it is not the accumulation of “stuff” but spending time with family and friends that brings happiness, pleasure and contentment.
We are fast approaching Thanksgiving and I hope we are all praising God and Jesus for the many blessings we have in our lives. If there is family close and friends available let’s make it a grand time with joyous conversations, family games and walks around the block.
Psalm 98:5 Shout with joy to the Lord, all you lands; lift up your voice, rejoice, and sing.
As we prepare not only for Thanksgiving but the Advent season let’s show our love for God by our kindness, understanding and mercy toward others. Reach out and hug your family while thanking God for that opportunity. Life is what we make it.
Smiles & Blessings,
Cynthia Collins Kaitfors
