He will bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair... Isaiah 61:3

Each year in late winter, my church holds a women's spiritual renewal weekend. That weekend is coming up in a couple of weeks.
Our fearless leader, Veronica, asked a few of us to create posters for this year's conference. She gave each of us portions of scripture to illustrate in our posters. My scripture comes from Isaiah 61:3: "He will bestow on them...the oil of joy instead of mourning."
I was having trouble coming up with an image for a start-from-scratch poster. One day, I was looking through posters at Michael's in hopes of getting some ideas when what should pop up but this perfectly joyous picture of a row of happy pups on an old sofa. So I took that poster home, gussied it up a little, and gave it to Veronica yesterday. I think it will suffice to illustrate joy. At least it does for me.

Susan, There is little on the planet more joyful that puppies so IMHO, you chose the perfect illustration for your Bible verse. Well done!
Please tell me where you found that font you used for the printed verse you put on the poster or what is the name of the font? Love it! Thank you!
Thanks, too, for the smile the puppy poster brought me and the perfect verse for us just now.
Hugs!
