unspeakable JOY

not early bedtimes for kiddos.
not quiet mornings for me.

You are my Joy.

not well behaved children.
not a doting husband.

You are my Joy.

not a content newborn.
not a great nights sleep.

You are my Joy.

not coffee.
not hulu.

You are my Joy.


"The fountain of content must spring up in the mind, and he who hath so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own dispostion, will waste his life in fruitless efforts and multiply the grief he proposes to remove. "

-Samuel Johnson

Amen and Amen. I am constantly reminding myself to choose joy in the "dailyness" of life. It can only come from Jesus. Thanks for this reminder today.
