Overflow of the Holy Spirit

If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?- Luke 11:13
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows- Psalm 23:5
Do you ever have those really positive, good days?
Those days when everything around you is beautiful amidst chaos and calamity in the world?
Those days when the only focus you can maintain lies on the One whose vision of the world is awe-inspiring.
Those are the days where you seem to have a calm, relaxed appreciation of your surroundings.  I didn’t have those days too often before being a believer, but now they are somewhat frequent, leaving me thankful for any moment given to me to embrace those times.  It’s days like those that make me want to write, because I feel like on those days I have a strong connection to the Holy Spirit, and apparently out of the abundance of the heart the hands type.  Not to add to scripture or anything, just saying.
The heavenly Father has given me the Holy Spirit, despite my previous ridiculous ideas that He could not possibly dwell in me, even after accepting Christ.  My cup is definitely overflowing as well as my heart, leaving me no option but to praise God through these typed-up thought processes.  What better way to serve and to glorify God?
