Let Your Joy Be Contagious

Let Your Joy Be Contagious
By Rev. Lonnie C. Crowe

Psalm 16:11--"You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
"
 
A Cycle of Joy
A tremor of laughter,
The five year old’s chortle
In capturing a dandelion,
Jostled the delivery man
Burdened by July, barking dogs and irascibility
And lifted his lethargy
with a memory and a smile
That gladdened the mother of three,
Saddled with prickly heat and sibling rivalry,
Who gently touched her tawny toddler
And melted his tantrum into a chuckle
That captured her heart.
 
 
 
 
Nehemiah 8:10b–"Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."
