the year of the lord's favor. and a stray horse.

our guest horse, chappy. circa 2009.
our animals peer in the glass door
cat
dog
chickens
a stray horse
watching us
read
eat
work
live
and this christmas season
i'm
shopping, entertaining, cooking
and
wondering if people
looking in from out
see
joy in my living
because this season is about
christ
bestowing
crowns of beauty and the oil of joy
and i want to be gladness manifest
for the
display of his splendor
so
for the rest of advent
isaiah 61 will ride in my pocket
a reminder of
why

what do you do to keep joy evident?
