Psalm 126:3
The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.
Joy is not an emotion; although it can be. It’s more of a state of mind and heart.
God fills me w/ love, life and JOY.
He makes me ALIVE!! Because of Him, I can truly REJOICE!
I am joyful for SO many reasons but all those reasons begin and end with my Savior, Jesus Christ. He has blessed me w/ many wonderful joyful moments that reflect back to Him! A few of them, I pondered below.
-Out West, I was camping with my family at Bryce Canyon. At midnight- we went to the side of the canyon and saw thousands of stars. To serve a Creator like that is AMAZING!!
-I was saved at a young age- but more memorable was my Baptism at 12 years of age. That whole night after I was baptized, I was filled with such peace and joy!
-Good friends- laughing ‘til our sides hurt
-Heart to heart talks
-Realness – in people. Where I’m at in my life- I LOVE people who are genuine!
-Florida- Howard Park Beach! I love driving thru the vegetation just to turn the corner and see ocean waves and blue sky--- it gets me misty eyed every time!
-Disney World- Lynds and I waiting for the park to open- listening to the countdown of the opening to the park that day. We both looked at each other and had so much joy we were crying!
-U.P. of Michigan – sitting on the dock doing devotions w/ Erin and singing praises to our God
-Ludington sunsets with my Sweetie!
-Ludington- driving down the main strip- small town feel – passing bed and breakfasts, hanging flower pots on lamp posts – pure JOY!
-Eating lunch on the wall by the river w/ Terry – talking about nothing and everything
-Pranks w/ Kara (and again- heart to heart talks too!)
-Christmas morning!
-My wedding day with Rick – one of the top joyful moments!
-Playing piano in the nursing home & seeing people w/ alheizhemers/dementia singing to all the old familiar hymns
-Serving God
-Singing praises to God along with 100 other college kids in our Chancel Singers choir
-Our last hurrah FL trip – being w/ friends – Blizzard beach!
-Playing w/ my nieces and nephew
-Being in church- listening to those around me sing - getting goosebumps- feeling the Holy Spirit- thinking this is a little slice of heaven
-My sisters- we’re all so different- yet we get each other
-Watching the Badger come in and waving at all the people on the boat. Everyone is laughing and waving and shouting as the Badger toots its horn.
-My husband’s laugh- then making me laugh
-Being married to my best friend
God has blessed all of us w/ joyful moments…..
Moments that SPARKLE DANCE..... moments made for WORSHIP!!
