Let's stop for a minute and think about this beautiful reminder: God is the God of simple joy. He created the universe, and intricately designed & formed every part of our being; He is all-knowing & all-powerful, in full control of everything. He is the judge of all the earth; He is our Father, sitting on His throne in heaven. And He is the creator of just simple joy. He's the one who created laughter, and happiness, and dancing, and singing - though those who know me know that joy and singing don't really go together when I'm the one doing the singing. He laughs with us. The creator of the universe LAUGHS with us. Not at us, WITH us. How neat is that?! I can't even tell you how many times I've felt Him laughing with me. He laughs with me when I run into walls, when I get giddy over something He does, when I tell Him seriously & dramatically that I don't want to be attractive to guys and then realize what I just said, when I trip over myself, when I realize something that's suuuper obvious & I'm just spacing, when I tell Him something that's just ridiculous, when I'm freaking out over something ridiculous, and many, many more things. He delights in our moments of laughter together. And He delights in the moments that I share the joy He has given me with Him. I love that He delights in that. This morning I was able to spend time with Him, with the whole house to myself. And during the last part of the morning, I blasted my music, and we danced together, smiled together, laughed together. It was a joyous morning :) Part of my playlist from this morning :)
