The Unexpected Delights












The party was well underway
When she came on the scene.
She watched from her seat, out of reach,
Hoping to go unseen.
 
Yet, one by one, the party guests
Noticed her arrival
And whispered with a hint or awe.
She held the crowd in thrall.
 
She wasn’t some grand movie star,
Some purveyor of song,
Yet everyone else who was there
Was glad she came along.
 
She didn’t stay for the whole night,
Just long enough to share
The sweet delight her presence brought
To everybody there.
 
I know you’re likely wondering
What praise this tale will raise,
But sometimes it’s not miracles
That delight and amaze.
 
It’s simply the fact that He knows
Just how to make my day
A little more delightful than
Any plan I might lay.
 
Psalm 37:4
“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”   

This sweet photo was taken on my phone from across the yard, so it's a bit blurry. I hope it conveys the joy that we all felt when she joined the party for a while.
