You Capture: Joy

Photobucket
This weeks You Capture challenge is "Joy". At first I thought about taking pictures of my kids and husband. Obviously they bring me much joy. However, I really wanted to capture the thing that brings me a deeper, fuller joy then anything else in life....that would be my walk with my Lord. I find such joy in spending time in His Word. When I am able to rise early in the morning before my children, I brew a pot of coffee and sit in the quietness of the of the new day at my Saviors feet.

This is my chair...my quiet little corner of the house.


One of my favorite passages highlighted in the Psalms.
Thou wilt make known to me the path of life; in thy presence is fullness of joy; in thy right hand there are pleasures forever. Psalm 16:11 NASV

Head on over to Beth's blog to check out how others captured joy.

    I found joy in quiet moments this week, too, so I definitely understand yours. I love how you shared the highlighted verse, too!

    Fantastic shots of joy. I love your direction with them. I always like to look for the type of shots that no one was expecting...this week, I had to go with the shot of my child as it was too great, though.

    What a cozy spot! I have always said I need a little corner of my own, but I think that place in my house would end up as a collection zone for clothes.
