Beautiful are the times you can read the sweet words that someone has penned. Words that reach your spirit. Words that move your soul.
Beautiful are the times you can inhale them like a fragrant aroma. They are a bouquet of letters, put together for the purpose of edifying the one who reads them.
During the journey through words I have come across a phenomenon ~ a wonder ~ there are people out there who receive a "word" from God.
Yes, it's true.
God hands out words sometimes.
Even one word at a time. One special word at the beginning of the year. A word to represent the coming year. A word that gives hope, passion, and excitement for what is to come.
The more I read of those people who "got" a word, the more I wondered about it. A word from God? Really?
I found that intriguing.
Then I wondered, "Why hasn't God given ME a word?"
Years passed.
I gave up on my word.
That was just for other people.
Special people.
But ~ then it happened.
A whisper to my heart.
A three letter bouquet.
JOY.
Boom. There it was. Just like that. My God word.
Thus began my joy journey ...
I have discovered that my little word is so much bigger than I ever thought.
Thus the journey.
And here I sit, ready to explore the word that sometimes seems elusive.
Ready to soak in the beautiful word in all its fullness.
Ready to breathe in its savory smell.
I am finding that I need to understand it, pursue it.
So here I am.
Setting my bouquet on the table, I flex my fingers, open my Bible, read and write ...
