Joy

September has been a busy month. It's almost over already. Every day holds some joy for each of us - we just have to be looking for it and recognize it. Some things that have given me joy this month have been: time with my hubby enjoying the countryside, taking pics of barns and fields, seeing the dedication of Ashley to follow God's leading, time with my kids and grandbabies, time with friends, and enjoying God's creation. One day, Nutty (a squirrel in our backyard), came up and sat on the window ledge. I could only see his tail. I said Nutty, look at me and he did. I told him he made me happy just watching him, he looked for a couple of seconds and then off he ran. (Nutty and I have an unusual bond - we give each other joy). John and I were on our way home from church one evening and we topped the hill to see a beautiful sunset. It was as if God had taken a brush and every so softly put in a whisp of a cloud here and there - so light, so airy. The sunset was beautiful with its orange and golden hues, warm, light, but not to bright. It gave me great joy to see the sunset. The colors God has used to paint the earth are magnificent - boundless joy.
