Joy

Joy of
Heaven To Earth come Down *
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile,
but
sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
~ Thich Nhat
Hanh
We are
formed and molded by our thoughts.
Those
whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts
give
JOY when they speak or act.
JOY
follows them like a shadow that never leaves them.

Jeanne, Mary,
and I had dinner Tuesday evening before going to the
Lori Line
Christmas
Show at the Denver University Newman Center for the Performing
Arts.
What a
wonderful pianist Lori Line is!!!
Santa was
also there!!!
At the very end of the
show, they had children from four to fifteen years
old
come up
on the stage
and they
put them in delightful
costumes.
There we are in the very
front row on the right!
Our Wednesday
Breakfast Club met at Harold's and Deborah's lovely home
for our
Annual Christmas Party.
Harold is a
sculptor and the above picture shows maquettes of some of
his large
pieces that are for sale.
This is a
full-sized sculpture of Harold's.

JOY TO THE
WORLD!
Joy to the world, the
Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart
prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and
nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.
Joy to the earth, the
Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and
floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding
joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding
joy.
No more let sins and
sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make
His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse
is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.
He rules the world with
truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of
His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His
love,
And wonders, wonders, of His
love.
