Dear God,

The laughter of grandchildren holed up for a whole weekend in my home brings such delight to my soul.  I watch them as they talk and share even with those silly phones in their hands.  My joy overflows.

I am certain joy is a divine gift.  Joy that comes from the depths is a gift from heaven that warms the heart, clears the mind and blesses the whole person.

I remember the picture of Jesus laughing.  I resonated with that picture because I am positive you smiled, laughed and played often.  You put smiles on the faces of little children and that brought joy to many mother's hearts.

As I sit and just watch, I breathe prayers of thanksgiving, praise and gratitude.  You are the giver of all good gifts, O Lord, and I thank you for breathing joy in my house this weekend.

Loving God,
thank you
for joy
that bubbles over.
Thank you
for the
healing gift
of joy.
Thank you
for the blessing
of joy
in my
beloved grandchildren.

Love, Andrea
