I enjoyed this! Well done!
Deek….I LOVE these three “little” thoughts! May I quote you in one of my “JOY JUICE” messages? (If you don’t know what JOY JUICE is, I’ll fill you in.)
Hey, Mrs. Joyce! Of course you can use them. And absolutely I know what “Joy Juice” is! I hope and trust that you and yours are well.
I like the thoughts. Made my day.
Great! Thanks for stopping by.
My SS girls have been really asking about how can we be joyous and content in the middle of crappy times. I’m glad you added this; it WILL be used, with your permission, of course!
Take your girls to James 1:2 and following. Best passage I know of on the subject. And of course, you can use this stuff all you want to.
Glad you linked to this post from your Bruised Reed post. Good stuff!
This is so profound.
“There’s a big difference between looking for the good in the bad and looking for God in the bad.”
It’s tweet-worthy, too.
Hope you don’t mind that I pass it along.

Don’t mind a bit. God bless.
