I heard the bangs of fireworks in my room. The city is celebrating
Canada Day with a display of fireworks after sundown.
Colours
burst into the air in all shapes and forms. Laughter echoes, rising with
each display. The handlers of the display get applause from the
appreciative crowd.
Everyone enjoys the magical explosives,
dancing and swirling against the dark sky. The grand finale presents a
gorgeous burst of lights and a huge volume of sound.
As I watch
the display, I remember walking into a church I had never been in
before, where I experienced just such a feeling. The welcome was
explosive; the handshakes were friendly; the service was uplifting; and
the prayers were deeply moving! How can I thank God enough for His
people?
My soul is fired with thanksgiving and bursting with joy!
I look up in awe for more of the sparkling exhibit -- and imagine what
fireworks must look like in heavenly places, in the very presence of
Almighty God.
Prayer: God of Christians, how can we be thankful
enough for You? We gather at Your feet to receive Your blessings to us.
May Your Holy Spirit fill us here on earth with a taste of heaven and of
Your awesome holiness and might. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
