They say joy comes from within...she radiates with it. Funny how as adults our "joy gauge" gets stuck. Maybe we all need to throw our hands in the air, forget the weight in our heart or head and let joy take over.
Pure Joy! She looks like she's praising Jesus with a childlike faith!
I was watching my 5 year old running through the yard last night chasing fireflies and running through the sprinklers, basically just enjoying summer. It thrilled my heart in the deepest places!
Oh my goodness! I want to pinch and kiss on those chubby arms! Yummy!
