This song struck something within me on Sunday. I have a feeling I will need it when I get more involved in more difficulties in life and am feeling overwhelmed by grief, brokenness, tragedy...when I need a reason to sing.

Bubbles and Sky Paintings

Today I am reminded of the fun, intimate, personal
relationship I have with God. We have danced, He has played with me with
bubbles while I was doing dishes, He has created beautiful sky paintings for me
to admire, He has created the earth for me to enjoy. When it is raining while
the sun is shining, it's like He's having a water-fight with me. No matter how
many times I have acted in sin, He has ALWAYS been with me, NEVER leaving me to
ruin. I know He loves me. I know he wants me to be happy. It is hard knowing
that He does not always get what He wants when He wants it. He wants us to love Him, to choose Him, to follow Him. He patiently waits
for us to wander in the desert for 40 years, giving us the freedom to choose
our own way. He can set the right path before us, but he will not force us to
walk it. I make choices. Others make choices. As much as God loves me and wants
me to be happy, the choices that I and others make can postpone the fullness of
that happiness. So, while happiness may be postponed, I am reminded of his love
through the "little" things, like bubbles and sky paintings.
