Joy Express

Joy Express

Joy verse:
1Th 5:16 Rejoice evermore.****
1Th 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
1Th 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Joy Note:
Being joyful ever-more may be hard to do unless we take time to look for the joy. =

Often we look at our circumstances and our surroundings and miss the joy that is in the will of God concerning us.
How can we find joy in the midst of chaos?
We can pray to see and feel the joy-
we can choose joy and we can thank God for the joy-(even in moments of sorrow.)
Joy is not only found in happy times. There is joy to be found in most circumstances.
Joy is in small blessings that we often fail to see.
Red lights bring joy because without them we could not cross the street.
Let us spend some time finding our joy and embracing our joy this year.
Take out some time to laugh and have some fun in little ways. Take time to spread some joy- be a joy germ.
Again take time to rejoice- and thank God for your joy.
Next time you stop at at a red light remember that it will be followed by a green light. Enjoy the moment.

--what a gift it is to find joy in the small things.

Joy Laugh-----Reverend Billy Graham tells of a time early in his ministry when he arrived in a small town to preach a sermon. Wanting to mail a letter, he asked a young boy where the post office was. When the boy had told him, Dr. Graham thanked him and said, "If you'll come to the Baptist Church this evening, you can hear me telling everyone how to get to heaven." The boy replied, "I don't think I'll be there... You don't even know your way to the post office.

"Joy Gem: Leave everything a little more joyful than you found it.
HUGGLES ME, MEME

Joy prayer:
Lord: we need Your help to learn to appreciate all that life offers, knowing that there is joy in both good and bad times. Help us find our joy.
Thank You, Amen..

  1. What a beautiful post. I love the Billy Graham story especially.
    You are right about joy. It is everywhere. I am grateful to have good eyesight to enjoy the spring blossoms and watch the birds. Mama was blind and hard as I tried to describe things to her, it just never seemed enough. Just to SEE is a blessing and a JOY.
    Hope you are feeling better tonight.
