Scripture: Psalm 144:15
Happy are the people to whom such blessings fall; happy are the people whose God is the Lord.
Thought for the Day: Over the years, I have found some of the most intriguing handwritten messages in the sanctuary. I found a note written between a mother and daughter arguing about the length of the daughter’s skirt; on the back of an offering envelope I found an argument over who was going to win an upcoming basketball game; on a bulletin stuffed in the back of a hymnal were what appeared to be the wandering thoughts of someone who was in love; on the back of an attendance card were the words, “The preacher is boring” and the response, “Yep!” I am fascinated by the conversations that occur on Sunday morning, and last week I found a new one to add to my collection. It read, “Are you happy? I am!” And in capital letters with at least a half dozen exclamation marks was an affirmative reply. There was no context for the note, but as I stood in the sanctuary and read it for a second time, my mind went a hundred different directions attempting to create the scenario that gave rise to the conversation into which I was unexpectedly drawn. Though some of my ideas were pretty creative, I finally paused and smiled as I thought to myself, “I’m glad two people are happy.”
Prayer: At the end of the day, I am happy that you are my God and that you had made me a a member of your family. Amen.
