Celebrate Sweetness!

Today is Ella’s birthday!  She is three years old – a bundle of magnificent sweetness wrapped up in little face, hands, body, and feet.  Her smile lights up a room and her laughter is always right on-key.  By declaration of tons of love and deep thankfulness for her, today we celebrate our sweetness – Ella Girl!

 

Do I sound a little bit like a doting grandmother!  Yes, that about sums it up and those of you who have grandchildren know exactly what I mean!  Several writers of Scripture refer to how amazing is the taste of God’s Presence – “taste and see that the LORD is good “ (Psalm 34:8), “those who have tasted the goodness of the word of God” (Hebrews 6:5), “you have tasted the kindness of the Lord” (1 Peter 2:3).  The more time I spend with Ella, the more precious she becomes – it’s the same way when we devote time to being with The Father.  The Gaithers sing, “It gets sweeter as the days go by – It get sweeter as the moments fly – His Love is richer, deeper, fuller, sweeter – Sweeter, sweeter, sweeter as the days go by.”  How can we claim to love Jesus, and skip the sweet times in His Presence!  Well, today Ella’s got her dance on and she won’t be dancin’ alone – we’re celebratin’ her sweetness.  Let’s not forget to celebrate The Savior – He’s where true Sweetness dwells!
