smile

 Grateful for unexplained joy

Grateful for life giving breath

Grateful for a new journal


The television is on. Talking heads are arguing.  And yet I’m singing. My joy isn’t dependent on external forces. Fix my eyes on You. Keep loving the people who come in contact with you daily. Your ministry is your smile. My eyes speak more than my lips ever could. 

Love yourself and one another

  5. "Your ministry is your smile." That is so true, and I try to remember that no matter where I am. I always want others to see Him through me. Happy Thursday!
