Countenance
“A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed.” Proverbs 15:13 Have you ever noticed that you can “see” emotions and thoughts on people?

As a child, were you ever asked, “If you could have ANY superpower, what would it be??” My response: “to FLY!!” I am ecstatic to share that I finally got that opportunity. This is a big deal.
