full joy
grubby yellow headband
messy sun- bleached bun
freckles on a tan face
complete teeth smile + laugh lines
full joy
surrounded by giggles
& dancing kids
barefoot in the dirt
sheltered by the shade of a giant, protective tree
full joy
in the distance
a gorgeous, dirty working man
catches my eye
& sends my heart roaring
full joy
deep + meaningful connection
purpose that is gritty & hard & worth it
gratitude for faith + grace
family that is unseen – but felt deeply
full joy
promises fulfilled
work put in paid off
faith filled legacy
truth honored
full joy
