\"\"<\/h6>\n
Head thrown back with arms wide open
\nDancing in fields of rainbows\u2026
\nBurst of sunbeams rushing about
\nSinging at the top of my lungs with no restraints, I SHOUT!!!
\nJOY! UNSPEAKABLE JOY!!!
\nWiping my tears as I dance about\u2026
\nLove, in living colors is all poured out\u2026
\nCovering me with happiness at the jubilant sound\u2026
\nI hear him whisper in a resounding shout\u2026and I\u2019m bound\u2026
\nHeart swelling, it\u2019s all in the telling, for there is no doubt.
\nLaughter and giggles and smiles from ear to ear\u2026
\nNo worries, no troubles, no fear\u2026
\nGifts of peace and gifts of life\u2026
\nThis is what my Joy is like\u2026
\nChildren playing at my knee
\nHeart filled with overflowing glee
\nJoy, pure joy from my Father\u2019s house\u2026
\nSeeing my mama and Jesus talking about;
\nThat there is fullness of JOY in His presence and pleasures for evermore!!!
\nMy JOY, comes from the Lord!!!
\nA fruit of the Spirit that gives light to our soul\u2026
\nWith Joy, God\u2019s Joy, I become whole!!!!
\nThe darkness fades, sins washed away\u2026
\nLiving-Joy is mine today!!!<\/h6>\n

My friend Esther Reiss\u200b put a challenge out to write a poem or a picture of if you could represent Joy what would it look like. I was feeling rather sad and tearful and when I saw her post I wrote this and it lifted me to Joy!<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
