365 Daily Gifts of Joy

My friend Amy gifted me with the book that carries the title of this blogpost and it’s been a joyful daily vitamin more often than not—rather, almost always— that speaks to my heart’s need at the moment. 

Lying in bed this morning watching the daylight growing behind the trees of the woods, after commenting to my husband that as our county has declared itself sanctuary for illegal aliens, the airport, already not in a great part of town, is likely to get more dangerous. Then the lavender light behind the quiet trees impressed me: As much as our world is reported to be falling apart, we live amidst beauty and peace (may we never turn them into idols!), and no matter what transpires in the years to come, or next month, or even today, it is my Father who rules with love. May I live by faith and not by sight!

Thank you, Amy. Thank you, Sandra Mansfield Wright for your joyful devotional.
