Remember Your Joy

Let us fill our hearts with as much joy as we possibly can. When we pass through the most troubling times, the happiness we have gathered will be like a light that shines for us in the gloomiest of nights.

“Go your way. Eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared, for today is holy to our Lord. Don’t be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” – Nehemiah 8, WEBBE

You Must Remember

You must remember
how it feels to be alive,
what it’s like
to really live,
and breathe,
and love.

You must remember
how it feels
to touch eternity,
to taste goodness,
and beauty
and joy!

You must remember
because we often
seem to forget,
and in making a living,
we have forgotten
to live,
to hear,
to see,
what’s really worth living for.
