Yesterday, I decided I wanted to add a little touch of JOY to a corner of my kitchen.
Pulling out an old barn board, from when we visited Kaitlin and her family, back in April, was just the piece I needed...
I threw some white paint on there and handpainted the letters. Not perfectly.
Joy is never perfect!
But how it results... is!
I like how this piece adds its touch to brighten our little corner of the kitchen.
But what I like even more... is this.
Jesus and Others and You!
What a wonderful way to spell JOY!
Jesus and Others and You.
In the life of each girl and each boy.
J is for Jesus, for he has first place.
O is for others we meet face to face.
Y is for you. And, for all that you do,
Put yourself last and spell JOY!
A reminder for me, my children, for us...
as a family!!

May JOY brighten the corners of your heart and home this Christmas!

i DID MINE TOO. Then Nathanael also colored on it. JOY is not always perfect, I had to laugh!
