‘joy, joy, joy,
praise we the Lord in heaven on high’
i’ve been humming it all week
*
i’ve also been thinking about Mary
the quiet joy she must have felt holding her son, her savior
and then the joy of the shepherds
that joy that spilled over in praises to God
and the telling to everyone what they had heard and seen
*
when joy is mentioned in the Word
it usually is preceded with singing, shouting and celebrating
but joy radiates whether silent or with voice
like a smile, it can be contagious
*
so much joy this baby brings –
joy in being redeemed, joy in being forgiven
and the promise of eternal joy
sing it quiet in your soul
or give that joy a voice
let it shine!
*
blessings,
Tracy
