Games and Galoshes

"This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it!" (Psalm 118:24)


As a preschooler, my very favorite book in the whole wide world was Little Galoshes. When Little Galoshes was in the house he wore little brown shoes. But whenever he put on his little blue coat, and his little red cap, and his little red woolly mittens, and started out the door, his mother called to him, "Put on your little galoshes!" And he always did.

On Saturday, we're headed to the beach with our six kids and seven grands and Tropical Storm Cristobal. Because I'm the mother, I said, "Kids, don't forget to pack your games and galoshes. Come rain or come shine, we'll have fun and rejoice in the day that the LORD has made."

Beloved, come rain or come shine, rejoice in the Lord Jesus and be glad in Him.
