About Joy and Thanksgiving
A thankful heart has always found its voice in song, in the hum of a hymn, the lift of a psalm, the quiet whisper of grace before a meal. Gratitude doesn't wait for a grand occasion; it rises in small, steady moments: the warmth of morning light, a table set with friends, a season's first harvest coming in. These are the words that steady us, that remind us what it means to be glad, and to say so.
