God, thank you for the blessing of a joyful heart in all circumstances. Carry me through whatever comes next. I cherish the blessing of close hugs, laughing until it hurts, friends who let me shout stupid things and be silly, and a love that not only survives but thrives from 7,000 miles away. Your run loves deep, Lord, let me swim in it in every season of my life. Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, let me be singing when the evening comes.
