"Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away." Isaiah 35: 10b
A complete picture presents itself to me in these few words. The Morice family is walking through a wooded area in the cool of the morning. Their path is sun-dappled and the sky is already brilliantly blue, but yet they trudge slowly, burdened by Sorrow and Sighing, their nagging companions. The sound of footsteps is heard approaching from behind. Suddenly, Gladness and Joy burst into view. “Surprised by joy”, Sorrow and Sadness melt into the darkness behind them as the family steps into the sunlight.
