These are precious times from the Lord, but, even more, these are precious times WITH the Lord. Next to spending time in prayer, in communion, with the Lord, I love spending time with others sharing about the Lord. Praying, whether by myself or with others, is more than a gift from the Lord. It is a privilege, a command. Nothing delights Him more than to find those whom He can take with Him into the Father's presence, clothing them with power to pray down God's blessing to those around them, training them to be His fellow-workers in the intercession by which the kingdom is to be revealed on earth.
Prayer is a delight, but it also very serious.
I don't blame her for all of those exclamation points. It's later in the day now. I can hear my children laughing in the next room. They have both been in silly moods all day. One of my dogs is barking at a squirrel trying to get to the bird feeder.
