"weeping may remain for a night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning"-- Psalms 30:5
Joy--
she graces you with her presence in the mourning:
lifting your spirit, she carries your ominous burden,
opening your eyes to the surrounding beauty.
She replaces fears with peace,
tears with laughter and mirth,
anxiety with rest.
She is found in the comforting words of a friend,
in the prayers of the saints,
in the company of "angels".
She is clothed with compassion and graciousness;
wisdom is her garland.
And in the midst of trouble she is your strength.
(thank you to all of you who have prayed for our parents! They are doing much better (both on new medication), and during this time, you have been our joy:))
