You have shown me the path of life;
in your presence is fullness of joy,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand. Ps. 16:11

 

 

Jesus, JESUS
you are my JOY!
fountain of Life,
Lover of my soul
you shine the Way
as Alpha and Omega
(Beginning to End) of
my earthly JOURNEY…

…another Year past is
yet a Day closer to
Father and YOU!
Speed us on with
your Spirit, protect
us by your Angels,
and bring us safely
home, FREE at last!

 

 

“Free at last” phrase from Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

This snowman may look innocent

but there’s mischief in his eye

See that crooked little  smile…

you think he might be foreign spy?

Let’s celebrate these days with joy 

’til naughty snowman says “goodbye!”

joy of morning

curious fellow

wonders at human whistling

do you have birdseed?

A fresh installment for Carpe Diem’s retreat: joy of light

 

XVI.

 

lenten days lengthen

light increases by minutes

joy of spring coming

open tightly closed windows

inviting fresh clean breeze in!

VIII.

illumination

darkness does not understand

light of world shines

 

IX.

pure light shines boldly

on both good and evil thoughts

exposing our hearts

 

X.

light of truth brings joy

but guilty hide in darkness

cling to familiar

 

 

come, be brilliant

“You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.” –Isaiah 55:12

 

Everyone lives in a little town

obscure village, speck in space

lost in universe we are but dust

 

Creator sees, our father knows

us too intimately, enters a virgin

(god in a womb)  angels sing glory!

 

He came and is coming still to

every little town, knocks at door

will you let great JOY move… inn?

Light a candle on this 3rd Sunday of Advent

We watch with eyes wide open.

What does a shepherd know of Joy?

Exiles follow Lord

Until kingdom restored

All: So Christ is our Advent of JOY!

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”

                                        (Mahatma Ghandi)

 

let us love, brothers

find our unity with joy

harmony in Christ

 

repent, believe, become real

let soul revival begin…

 

Connecting with Carpe Diem Haiku Kai’s prompt today…many directions you could go with the theme of happiness!
