Let the faithful exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their couches.
Go to church this Sunday with the great joy of celebrating God's awesome love. Don't make
worship a funeral. Make it a joy for all!
(Psalms 149:5
NRSV)
One of America's favorite and most thoughtful humorists is Erma Bombeck. In one of her
columns she told about the little boy who was sitting in front of her in church. He was just as
quiet as could be and certainly wasn't bothering anyone, but every once in a while he would turn
around and smile happily at everyone behind him. He did this several times to the pleasure of
everyone who could see him. Suddenly his mother jerked him around and told him in a loud
whisper to stop grinning--he was in church. Then when the tears came to the little fellow's eyes,
his mother said, "That's better."
Dear God, with joy I will worship you and share your joy. Amen.
