40 Days of JOY - Day 2

40 DAYS OF JOY . . . ☺

I want to "build a habit of joy" in my life.

Soooo . . .
I have decided to study & share God's word of Joy over the next 40 days.
I am going to try to find at least 40 verses of Joy.

Yesterday's was Nehemiah 8:10

Today I have chosen Proverbs 17:22
"A joyful heart is Good Medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."

Joy is medicinal . . . Joy heals . . .
By the Power of God we can set ourselves up for healing by basking in His Joy 🥰

The Do-Over - Part 1 - The Cost of Anger

  Part 1 - The Cost of Anger "His Mercies are New Every Morning"  Lamentations 3:22 She could feel the heat rising inside of her. It had to be showing on her face just how mad she was. Why didn’t he see that? How could he just sit there and act like nothing is going on? How could he think that there wasn’t anything that he should be doing at this moment? As Chrissy’s temper started boiling over, Tony just sat staring at the TV. This was an important game, Tony was so glad he got home in time to watch most of it. It had been a long day at work, and he was so tired. Now he could just relax. As he was relaxing another sensation came over him, as if someone were watching him - he felt the intensity of it. He took a quick look up from the TV to see Chrissy standing there. He could tell she was steaming - at something.  “What now?? Why can’t I just relax?  It was like this every day and he was getting sick of it!” Tony complained to himself. “What?!” Tony snapped “Are you real

The Do Over - Part 2 - The Cost of a Gift

The Cost of a Gift “Are you so foolish? After beginning by the Spirit, are you now trying to finish God’s work by means of the flesh?”   Galatians 3:3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ She awoke with a start.  It was still dark in the room. She leaned over and felt Tony’s side of the bed. He was gone. But the smell of coffee lingering in the air made her think he still might be here.  What woke her up so abruptly? What was this uneasy feeling she had in her gut? What about that strange dream?  Or was it a dream?  Angels, lights, the horrible things that she did, it was all a blur.  In a flash, fear jump-started her brain. The fogginess parted in a heart beat as she remembered how she left things with Tony. “Please God don’t let me mess things up this morning, like I did yesterday.” Dressing quickly, she hurried to the kitchen to make sure she didn’t miss him.  She had no idea what she was going to say, but she was sure it was going to start with some humble pi

40 Days of JOY - 🙌🙌 Day 10 🙌🙌

 40 Days of JOY  - 🙌🙌 Day 10 🙌🙌 I love this verse. ❤ While I have been focusing on all that We Should do to show JOY   or what would come NATURALLY to those experiencing true JOY.  . . I love this description of God - and how this love and JOY are reciprocated  . . . God is so enamored with us that He Rejoices over us with Singing.  God sings because He is full of JOY Himself.   He is the one "living JOY out loud" - when He thinks of us! I often wonder what the Angels see & hear when God is celebrating us.  Let your joyful imagination run wild . . . And see if that doesn't put a smile on your face 😁🥰🤣😍
