Nov 11.98: Light For The Day - "A Rececipe For Joy!"

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness."
-- Galatians 5:22 (RSV)

--------------- 
"A Rececipe For Joy!"

Take three or four good friends
(depending on the amount of Joy needed)
Mix softly with love and sharing.
Baste wih compassion and comforting words.

Sprinkle on the spice of Laughter.
Throw in a few small children,
Mix these up with hugs and sticky kisses
(that smell like gingerbread}

Top of mixture with one of God' beautiful rainbows.
Then cover the whole mixture with Prayer.
Be sure to leave room for the Love of God.
Stir and enjoy for a lifetime. 

-- Dee Edgett

"For you shall go out in joy, and be led forth in
peace; the mountains and the hills before you
shall break forth into singing, and all the trees
of the field shall clap their hands ."
