My grandson, Tyler has brought our family a lot of joy even though he can't do much very well. He can say a few words, but I can't have a discussion with him. He like to play with balls, but he doesn't throw well and can't catch at all. He can walk a little, but he is pretty unsteady and he seldom walks in the direction I want to go. How does someone who can do so little bring so much joy? It is because he is the newest addition to the family. We are watching and participating in his development. We enjoy our time with him today because we see progress in him from yesterday and, at the same time we see in him a promise of tomorrow. A little smile from him can get me to do anything for him.
That must be why God rejoices in us even though we don't do things all that well. He loves us because we are part of His family; he sees progress in us and he sees our promise for the future. He rejoices when we want to be with him and he has already done for us more than we will ever be able to understand.

Randy, what is wrong with this picture, even though it is adorable? Are you holding a baby and a hot cup of coffee?
