Smile Day

When was the last time you felt like this?

"My soul yearns for you in the night;
in the morning my spirit longs for you."
Isaiah 26:9

As I read these words it made me long for this. To really truly yearn for my heavenly Father's presence. To wake up and long for him. I think it's a hard question to ponder though - but a good one. I know that I have days when I just long to be with Jesus. I long for his Spirit to completly fill me up. Those are just the best times ever! There are times when I miss my girls so much. I was sitting on the sofa in our three season room on Sunday afternoon - it was the first day since we moved in that it was warm enough to sit out there. I curled up in the sofa and tears filled my eyes as I longed to curl up with my girls that are far away and just talk. You see, that particular sofa has always been our curl up couch where we talk. I longed for them - and our heavenly Father longs for that communion with us. He wants to curl up on the sofa and talk with us and he wants us to long to do that with him.

Today I woke up with a smile on my face. It just felt like a SMILE DAY!
Cry out to Jesus today. He longs for you!!!!
Smile, knowing that you are loved.
