Since I woke up this morning I have been trying to convince myself that I didn't dream last night that England won the Ashes....it has actually happened (and with a day to spare). After the tears and despair of Headingly, there was resounding joy at The Oval.
Psalm 126 tells of the joy of the people returning from Babylon to Jerusalem - tears of despair had turned to tears of joy. They were beside themselves with happiness and laughter. They felt like they were in a dream - the impossible had happened. They rejoiced and sang "The Lord has done great things for us."
A timely reminder to look back and rejoice at what God has done in our lives.
Think of all the blessings of knowing Jesus....and it's not a dream - it's real!
