Fill us at daybreak with your kindness, that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days. (Psalm 90:14)

There has been a whole lot of shouting lately.  Shouting for justice.  Shouting for unity. Shouting for peace.  Shouting for equality.  Shouting for human rights.  These shouts are just what we need to do so that the authorities and the LORD may hear us.  But, there have also been shouts of violence, injustice, riots, and hatred these days and it’s these shouts that are not the will or the voice of God.  But there’s also the shouting of joy, gladness, kindness, compassion, mercy, and hope that will hopefully come back when we start to love our God and our neighbor!  These shouts are the ones we need to hear again soon!  May our shouts for equality, peace, justice, and unity be heard so that we may shower the world with the shouts of joy and gladness for all of our days!  Amen!
