I love to say to Seth, “You are a blessing! You are a delight!” He responds so sweetly and with exuberance, “I is a blessing! I is a delight!” It always makes me laugh and I am filled with delight, which is defined as “unparalleled joy…that amazing degree of enjoyment and pleasure.”
This morning I was reading and meditating on Psalm 1. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
The person described by the Psalmist is not a person who has personal quiet time out of obligation or guilt but rather immerses himself and delights (takes pleasure in) in the Word. And consequently, the result? This person becomes like a tree, planted by a river, resplendent in rich shades of green. He/She can withstand cold winter winds and hot summer temperatures.
My devotional summed it up beautifully. “This is the person who will reflect the face of God like a river reflects the sun in dappled waves.”
As a mom of a three-year-old and two other busy boys, I find that it is difficult to find time for delighting in God’s Word. This passage inspired me to make time to delight in God’s word so that I reflect the face of God.

I hope you are beginning to feel rested after such a long haul. We love traveling for the holidays...so exciting...but it can be exhausting on the trip home (and oh the unpacking....)!
I love the new pictures in your sidebar of Seth...his sense of style, the washer, the basket...*BIG smiles*
