Best Phone Call Ever

"For the LORD your God...will take delight in you with gladness. With His love, He will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs." (Zeph. 3:12)

At Marine Corps bootcamp, a recruit's only contact with family and friends is letters. One morning when our son was at Parris Island, our phone rang about 6 a.m.. It was Dan. The drill instructors had rewarded him with a call home because he was aggressive (he knocked out 2 or 3 opponents' mouth guards) and undefeated in the pugil stick fights. Best phone call ever for his overjoyed mama!

You have a heavenly Father, beloved Christian, that delights in you with gladness and rejoices over you with joyful songs. Talk to Him everyday.
