With certainty of sight!
Then, shall ye be
Questioned that day
About the joy
(Ye indulged in!)
S.102 A.7-8
Many of these verses "reframe" my thoughts - this is another. I can honestly say that I feel good about the things I take joy in: I take joy in helping others, I take joy in seeing my students smile, I take joy in helping a friend, I take joy in wishing an old friend happiness in a new life, I take joy in listening to my daughters ramble on for an hour about things I don't understand, I take joy in reading my Koran and "getting something", and I take joy in the fact that I am a decent Muslim. Many of the verses I read challenge me greatly, some please my heart - this is an example of the latter.
