Over on Instagram, I've started following a whole group of ladies who take turns hosting "it's my week" challenges. They choose a theme and all week you can submit photos that depict your interpretation of that theme. We've had blue, looking down, sunshine, red, walls and this week....JOY!
Here are some glimpses of joy I've found this week, along with some scripture that reference joy.

| an impromptu trip to visit nearby waterfalls |
Let
the sea and everything in it shout his praise!
Let
the fields and their crops burst out with JOY!

Chronicles 16:32

| fun in the park |
You will live
in JOY and peace.
The mountains
and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their
hands!
Isaiah 55:12
 |
| meeting Wallace the donkey and Chase the horse |
Honor
and majesty surround him; strength and JOY
fill his dwelling.
1 Chronicles 16:27

| letters, drawings and photos from our Compassion kids |
Satisfy us each
morning with your unfailing love,
so that we may
sing with JOY to the end of our
lives.
Psalm 90:14
 |
| sharing our music with local senior citizens |
He
will once again fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of JOY.
Job
8:21

| the music of J. S. Bach |
Be
JOYful always. Pray continually.
Give
thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God’s will for you in Christ
Jesus.

| finding joy at the library |
Joy exudes from this page. Seeing Multnomah Falls brings a smile to my face, recalling the many times I went there for a sweet peaceful moment. Living in Texas now is a bit too far for a moment under the dampness of those falls, but looking at them is good. Having had Mama in a senior resident/assisted living/then nursing home, I can appreciate the music you shared with them. A ministry so important for the elderly.

I LOVE Multnomah Falls. Lived not far away 50+ years ago. Now I'm climbing around and about every time I'm in the NW seeing family and friends. But the Columbia River, Multnomah, Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainier, and piles of other places always grab my heart. All your photos and sharing your heart with so many was very beautifully well done. Thank you much.
