Keep Flipping

on the other side

of sadness there may be joy

the flip of a coin


A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV)

Finding Joy in Autumn’s Cloudy Days


good news of great joy

one cloudy autumn Sunday

sunlight through stained glass


But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.”

Luke 2:10-11 (NIV)

Morning Glory

if God made today

then I can find joy in it

gladness with the sunrise


This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24 (NIV)

Evergreen


On the snow-fogged peak

the lonely evergreens smile.

Such emptiness. Joy!

Whose Joy?


This joy that I have,

the world can’t take it away

It belongs to God.


You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace;

Isaiah 55:12a
