Blessing 69 - A Cup of JOY

I walked out my front door and noticed an unexpected brown paper package on my doorstep. It was addressed to Melanie Pagmanua. That's Me! To my surprise, my sweet friend Joy from Colorado had sent me this thoughtful cup! I loved it the moment I opened it. With it, came a gift card. What touched me most was the poem she had written for me...

Like a painter...
You see beyond the ivory canvas.
The endless road...
Sunrise and sunset...
Deepest colors of Fall...
and brightest white of Winter.
Daily, you walk, devote and overflow
with wanting more than just a glimpse
of Him.
Unil it is time to rest...
You continue on the daily devotion
of what He has created in you...
A beauty, more lovely... Your heart.

I am left tearful and thankful. Thank you, God, for blessing me with a special friend who I may not see often, but I can feel her friendship often in my heart. I love you, Joy.
