Great Pleasures

I've been thinking about some of the greatest pleasures in life that I have experienced. I thought of things like:

Sleeping in
Climbing into a bed made with freshly laundered linens after a nice hot shower
Cuddling with my husband
Eating a great meal with friends and family
When Jake (my cat) comes to me in an affectionate and cuddly mood

But of all these things I think these are greater:

Experiencing unity in my local church, especially during worship
Being overwhelmed by the presence of the Lord
Hearing the Lord speak (whether through dreams, experiences, visions, etc)
Having the Word of God LEAP off the page and into my spirit

These things are such great pleasures. Thinking on this last group inspires me to continue to pursue Him in whom I have placed my hope and my trust!
