Pure joy.

I am so undeserving of this little doll I get to spend my days with.  I finally uploaded pictures from our point and shoot (I think I was three months overdue on this)- and it is laden with pictures of her beaming smile.

God is so good. I don't deserve to have this little joyful, energetic, friendly (she says "Hi" to everyone in the stores), little miracle. But I certainly will take it and enjoy her!

I was thinking of the verse: "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Galatians 5:22-23. I am so excited for Ruth to get to know Jesus and from His love outpour all of these things.  And for the record, her momma thinks that these things are so hard sometimes...

And here is some joy for your Monday. Seriously, look at that grin!
