I took this picture when I was in New Orleans. I thought it to be a great visual picture of James 1:2-3 "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance."
Most of the stores on the street were destroyed or had been looted. It wasn't a pretty time. I loved that this sign remained...unfazed by the storm. Joy. Deep Joy...even when life is hard because we know that Jesus says "hey, it's all gonna be alright."
Wow, this is an amazing photo Kristie! It's a great reminder that even in the deepest despair, we all have reasons to be joyful.
