Glad Tents

This afternoon while in the midst of some pretty intense budget meetings with a bunch of folks from Hines, I decided to look down at my Blackberry to see what recent e-mails were sent my way. When I read this one from Victoria (below and directed to our older children), my mind turned to calm, my spirit lifted, and my heart smiled with joy. Perfect timing from my bride and my Lord.

"Glad songs of salvation are in the tents of the righteous." Psalm 118:15

I just wanted to share this little verse with you guys. I pictured the tents "of the righteous" (Israel of the Old Testament) and glad songs being heard from within them at night... Now we (who were made righteous through Christ) can sing glad songs of salvation from within our tents, our homes, our hearts.

I guess it all boils down to experiencing JOY at having been declared righteous in the sight of our Creator; that is where the glad songs come from.

From a glad tent,

Love,

Mom
