Joy of the Lord

Joy of the Lord Joy refuses to hide or wear a disguise Bouncing brightness – bliss on springs; Dances on tiny toes of fiery flamencos No colorless embraces –knows the steps; No shadows of grey in its cloak Only shades of clearest light; Incandescent transcendence of perpetual motion Never slumbers – never needs a nap; Always nascent nativity Breaths renewal Son powered battery; Inventor of jubilation - Hallelujah ecstasy – Gloria elation -Praise euphoria; Benediction of merry mirth Speaks beatitudes of delicious delight; Glee on wheels – rocking and rolling Merriment like twilight candle light; Clowns around with hilarity Pals around with happiness of the moment; Radical hospitality not a fleeing ghost Permanent wave – permanent eternal smile; Never absent – resonating generosity A little craziness of an upside down emoji; Stares down petulant, whining faces Welcome mat always out; Enthusiasm invades invasion of jocularity Happiness revolution resolution; Pirouettes in peaceful promises Precious plentiful pearls of shining wonder; Taps on windowpanes with eternal enrapture Always available to dance; Unrestrained tail wagging exuberance Springing up with blinking lights – can’t wait to bless; Bright eyes tickle the deepest marrow Strength tousles somber cores with joy: Joy inhales moments of transparent gladness - Exhales a sparkling galaxy of glimmering satisfaction!

Sam, you had me at "bliss on springs"! Then "Son powered battery". "Permanent wave – permanent eternal smile". "Unrestrained tail wagging exuberance". Love the inhale/exhale closing couplet. This is like an All-Star team of great joy phrases! Going in my faves, thanks for all the joy, my friend ~ John

This theme - joy - now reminds me of the scripture "good news of great joy!" It was so much fun, and so uplifting, to explore this theme. Thank you for your good wishes of great joy my friend! Sending you joyful blessings as another member of the all joy team!
