And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
Right then and there, he jumped up in front of everyone, grabbed his mat, and walked home praising God the whole way.
When God moves in your life, you can't help but celebrate on the way home.
