Need Some Joy?
Job 8:21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.
We all need joy in our life in order for life to make sense, right? Otherwise, how miserable it would be to just exist and feel no joy at all. We have all met people from time to time that have been robbed of their joy due to life's circumstances. I think it is disheartening when I meet people who rob themselves of their own joy. No matter how much you try to help them see the good in life they see the negative, always complaining and in a state of major self pity. Let's be honest, we are all guilty!
There are people who should not have any joy because of life's circumstances and yet they do have real joy. That is amazing to me because they manage to enjoy God's blessings in the midst of it all.
Joy comes from God and He gives it to anyone who wants to receive it and even when life happens and bangs us up, it will be where we least expect it.
Joy has come to me in many forms....some times from a scripture, a child, a friend, a flower, a butterfly, the ocean, artwork, etc....and when I least expect it!
In times of joy, all of us wished we possessed a tail we could wag. - W.H. Auden

We are Blessed to be a Blessing
Genesis 12:2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you
And make you great; And you shall be a blessing.
Let’s strive to make a positive impact on those around us. Those who we share life with and those that God brings in our presence. Letting them know we care about them and value them being in our lives by the things we say and by the things we do each day. We can bless others with what God has so generously given to us such as with our finances, with our talents, and with our words of encouragement, just to name a few.
I Peter 4:10
As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God
