We can be sleep-deprived, beyond measure;
weary, under the load we carry;
we can focus on all that's wrong

there's always room for joy!

Joy is in a baby's coo, first smiles and laughter;
joy is in the songs your kindergartner sings over and over again;
there's even joy within monotony!
Wait, what!?!

There's even joy within monotony;

The source? Why, that's easy!
It all comes from The Joy Maker, Himself, God the Father,
His only begotten Son and the Holy Spirit;

there's also
joy.
Faith, hope, love, joy, peace - may your life be abundantly full with these.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
