joyfulness.



[this was taken on the mission trip i went on a month ago.]

this simple, ordinary little girl has something deep inside of her that enables her to be so content with her life and the poverty she lives with every single day.

she is an inspiration to me. she has that one thing in life that so many of us long to have.

she has joy.

many of us do not know the difference between joyfulness and happiness.

she does.

OK..are you and your mom playing "dueling blogs"! Ha! I remember going on many Mexico mission trips and those children, now adults, still hold a special place in my heart. Beautiful words you wrote! So proud of you, Jess! Lori Byrnes
