Squeals of Delight

I am developing a new habit.

Every time I hear my children’s delight through laughter or squeals…I grab my camera. I want to remember why they laugh and squeal. I want to know what that looks like…so that I may live it with such abandon.

How do we let life go by so fast? Life is a beautiful, rich, fruit-filled pie that WILL be cut into pieces…with or without our permission. Remember the beauty.

“O taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!” Psalm 34:8.

The only way to truly taste is to do something. Food doesn’t just fall in our mouths; a beautiful life doesn’t just happen. It takes intention. Purpose. Humility. Grace. Mixed with and by and for a God who loves abundantly.

Listen. The laughs of delight are there for you to see and hear and feel. Experience them fully, and remember.
