Another week in remote learning is done and we've got heat warnings as temperatures soar. The kids enjoyed the sprinkler under the trampoline yesterday for an afternoon of fun.
Discovering these moments of joy, in the midst of what we are able to do, we bless the name of the Lord, "from this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised!" (Ps 113:2-3)
We may not feel like it because some of our normal fun is blocked.
We may not want to because we're frustrated with life and restrictions.
But He,
"is high above all nations" (v4),
"his glory above the heavens" (v4),
"is seated on high" (v5),
and there is none like him! (v5)
May His name be lifted up in our lives today.
