Do I Delight?

I have been thinking a lot about the word delight lately.  A couple of months ago I was reading Psalm 40 and the word delight stood out to me as being something I desperately needed to work on.  In verse eight it says "I delight to do thy will..."  Wow, I am not just supposed to do God's will for my life, but I should delight in it!  Unfortunately I knew I was responsible for many "delight-less" days.  You see I felt like we had just been through the wringer so to speak.  I was almost able to convince myself that maybe just maybe we shouldn't be here.  It was at this very low time that God gave me this verse. I needed to understand that  it was not and never will be my job to tell God what His will for my life should be.  He knows and loves me more than anyone else ever could.  God's plan for my life is a beautiful one.  It is one that I need to accept and do with delight.  
Being content here in Fiji is however just one area of God's will for my life.  Do I show delight in doing things for my husband?  When he comes to me and asks if I could make him an apple crisp (side note: it is 9:00 p.m. and I have already been in the kitchen since the dawn of time) do I do it with delight or a begrudging attitude.  Thankfully on that particular occasion I chose to delight in my task and we were able to enjoy apple crisp together for a late night date.  I hate to think how many times I lost out on a special memory because of my bad attitude.
Our children is another area in my life where I want to choose to delight in God's will.  I am sure the average person thinks we are nuts to have five children so close together.  Does is get crazy sometimes? (ok a lot of the time)  YES!  Am I usually tired?  YES!  Have I lost my patience?  YES!  Do I love my kids more than life itself?  YES!  Would I do it all over again?  YES!  It is only with the Lords help that I can ever look past the mess and spills, and endless laundry and see those little faces that we have been given to raise for the glory of God.  It is easy to delight in them when they are being obedient (or even better when they are sleeping), but what about those "other" times?    By delighting in God's will I can put a smile on my face and love on our children, love my man, and joyfully serve wherever He leads.
