The Joy List

Not enough mirth. Too many smiles hiding frowning hearts. So make the heart smile. Earth is stuffed all around with heaven. And if heaven is joy tangible, then smiles should be more sincere down here.

So I'm starting a list. I hope to hit 100, not necessarily now, but eventually. 100 delight-gifts from God seen around me. 100 sunbeams that I can run back up to the sun. It's a list of gratitude, and of reminder. Here we go.

#1 Cold watermelon juice
#2 Showboating hummingbirds
#3 The full moon
#4 Wheels rolling to an anticipated person
#5 The night ending (or maybe it's the morning beginning) with the love-tattered Word
#6 The old Bible faithful through tattered pages and full of highlighted memories
#7 Dead men and their living words
