One of my favorite things that God shows us is how sadness and joy are NOT mutually exclusive!

My seasonal depression kicked in last night before I went to bed. I think I need to sit in the sad a minute, but will come back to this post when I'm ready to find joy again.

I have often but not always been aware of and naming joy but not so in the recent past until I read this line ā€˜Joy is an act of resistance.’ som time before 1/20/25. These days I often tend to other things but before too many days go by I remember to seek out the word joy and remember the holiness and abundance of j-o-y. Love this piece. Ty.
