Joy

Ted Szukalski's description: 

"This is a very special photograph for me. Firstly because I did not have to ask this homeless man if I can take a photograph of him. He ask me to take a photo. Secondly, this is a very rare occasion where a homeless person was actually very happy. And the secret behind his joy? The man received a brand new pair of Dr. Martens boots. He was overjoyed with them and asked everyone around if they liked his new red boots."

After reading Ted's story I can't help but smile when i look at that picture. Growing up my mum would say "don't to judge a book by it's cover." Who would know from looking at him, what he was feeling. But it was when he shared what was going on within that it was evident that this man was experiencing joy. 

2 Corinthians 6:10
Our hearts ache, but we always have joy. We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything.
