“then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the speechless sing for joy. For waters shall break forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert; the burning sand shall become a pool and the thirsty ground springs of water; the haunt of jackals shall become a swamp; the grass shall become reeds and rushes.”
Isaiah 35:6-7 NRSVUE
The prayer this week in our Advent journey was this…”open our eyes to the joy that surrounds us. Amen.”
I’ve been leaning into joy lately. In 2025, so much that I held dear was stolen, or seized under mortal threat. I’m about to burn it all away. Joy like water“shall break forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.” I will no longer bear my grief like a stone around my neck. It’s time for joy.
Thanks be to God.
