for ye shall go out with joy


For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Isaiah 55:12



My mom did this piece of calligraphy for us for Christmas, and we finally had the means to get it framed. Isn't it beautiful? (Thanks, Mom!)

After I've crashed on the couch, completely exhausted, at the end of the day, I like to read the verse over and over to remind myself that I can get up and do it all again in the morning. (Even after a sleepless night spent trying to figure out what on earth was making Caleb spend his screaming like the world was ending.) And what's more, I can do it joyfully knowing that someone out there will be cheering me on.

Wow, that is a really cool piece of art--I love it! Your mom's super talented, so now I know where you get it from. ;) That is a very cool verse, too.
