I'm on a roll this week with running with flowers in my hands....
Today as I was running to Green Lake, I spotted a bouquet of flowers that someone had stuck in a fence on the side of the road on the Ave. It looked like they'd been there overnight so I grabbed them and brought them home for Dad to wish him a happy birthday!
When I was running around Green Lake, I was listening to a playlist that had the song from Randall Goodgame's CD "Sing the Bible". My favorite song on there is where Sally Lloyd Jones reads the verse from Philippians 4 with the mandolin playing in the background. A big smile flashed across my face as this came on, and I picked up the pace with a spring in my step. I prayed that you would be able to live into this verse today and rejoice...
4 Rejoice
in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let
your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do
not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And
the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts
and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally,
brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is
excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever
you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into
practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:6-9
I made a video for you of some favorite pictures that remind me to rejoice...
