2017 Word of the Year

First, I have to review 2016's word:

While I feel I understood God's grace toward me better this year, I'm so glad I have a Savior because I really don't feel I gave others enough grace. Blessedly, God knows I'm broken and loves me anyway.

When thinking on my 2017 word, one word kept staring me in the face around my home:

So there it is, JOY!

I want to be joyful as a wife and mother, but also spread the joy of the Lord and show Christ's love for others.
