JOY IN EVERY DAY!

 

JOY IN EVERY DAY!

 

I REALIZE=

That these=are SOME tough times

For a lot of people

 

For health reasons=for finances

Or job reasons=or for

Relationship struggles=but I

CAUTION you all to

NOT give up

 

Not to give up=ON God

Not to give up=on yourself=and

Not to give up=on

YOUR FELLOW MAN

 

There is some JOY=

IN EVERY DAY!=even for the little things

Even IF it is

JUST FOR LIFE ITSELF

 

“……..no one will take

YOUR JOY=away from you”                                                                                                           John 16:22

 

Jesus traveled through

This life too=he walked this earth

 

And he told=HIS DISCIPLES

In no uncertain terms

That there would be JOY=and grief

In this world=but in the end

THE JOY=would last forever

Seeing the JOY=IN EVERY DAY!

 

“Do not grieve=FOR THE JOY

Of the Lord=is your strength”                                                                                              Nehemiah 8:10

 

“On what were its

Footings set=0r who

Laid its cornerstone--------

 

While the morning stars

Sang together=and all

The angels=SHOUTED FOR JOY?”                                                                                      Job 38:6-7

 

“Let them sacrifice=Thank offerings

And tell of his works=with songs

OF JOY”                                                                                                                                        Psalm 107:22

 

Where do you FIND

Your joy in life?=is it IN

FAMILY AND FRIENDS=as well as IN GOD

Well that is it=FOR ME

 

Do you FIND JOY=in your children?

And grandchildren=so many of you

HAVE BEEN BLESSED=In that way

 

But don’t overlook=the SMALLER MOMENTS

Of your life=a glass of wine=or a cold beer

Just LIVING in itself=is a BLESSING=there is

JOY=IN EVERY DAY!

 

“But the angel=said to them=

‘Do not be afraid=

I bring you good news=that will cause

GREAT JOY=for all the people

 

Today=in the town=of David

A Savior has been born=to you

He is=the MESIAH=the Lord’”                                                                                               Luke 2:10-11

 

The LIFE of Jesus Christ even

IS ENOUGH for me=

To bring me=GREAT JOY=in this life

 

The BLESSINGS and the years=

I have had with my parents

And my sisters

 

And extended family and friends

Has left me=with many GREAT MEMORIES

FEELING GREAT JOY=in this life

 

THIS is the day=the Lord

Has made=there is

GREAT JOY=IN EVERY DAY!

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ever JOYFUL=Holy Father God!
