In what do you take delight?

I delight in:

my children and grandchildren
conversations with friends  
laughter.
drinking in the sights and sounds of the ocean.
the melody of children's voices.
good Southern gospel singing.
a warm sunny day.
a spring thunderstorm
my dog welcoming me home.

 

I could list many things that bring delight to my life.

I cannot name many material possessions delight me.

I suppose my radio, CD player, and TV do 

because that's how I enjoy Southern Gospel music.

But they are just a means to an end.

My Bible brings me delight because reading it is 

one way I communicate with God.

I delight in knowing I am a child of THE KING!

"Delight yourself in the LORD;

And He will give you the desires of your heart."

Psalm 37:4

 

And I delight in knowing THE KING delights in me!

"He brought me out to a wide-open place; 

He rescued me because He delighted in me."

Psalm 18:19
