The word for the third Sunday in Advent…
Joy
On a day when I learn of a loss… I realize…
because of Jesus…
there can be joy…
in the face of…
death…
disease…
discomfort…
But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
Psalm 5:11-12
