I strive to “find the joy” every day. I love the days at work we take breathers and do or have funny things happening…the laughter is such a stress relief. Then too, my kids can give me equal joy (or pain)….so I relish the joy filled moments more and more when they happen. I love it when time allows me to enjoy the things that I find creative and soul filling, from painting a cabinet to taking pictures that inspire me.
It is a challenge for all of us to “find the joy” in our
lives every day with so much of Satan around us looking for ways to throw logs in
our Christian walking paths. What gives
you joy?
So, here are a few pictures of my flowers I’ve struggled to
keep alive in a drought filled hot Kansas summer. They help me “find the joy” so I’ll share
them with whomever visits in hopes they give you joy too.
Isaiah 58:14 “then you will find your joy in
the LORD, and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land
and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.” For the mouth of the
LORD has spoken.

Your flowers did well in the drought. with love and tender care they flourished. Kind of like kids. :) Joy is a choice. I have found joy in a day only to lose it as quickly as I found it. To get it back I had to chose it again. Satan is always tossing those logs...gotta toss them back. :)
Beautiful thoughts Val! Love the message. Have you read choose joy by Kay Warren? I think you'd love it!
