JOY TO YOU

LOVE

Someone really needs that song that's in your heart right
now. Please don't let it go unsung.

TRUST

I saw God before me for all time. Nothing can shake me; he's right by my side. I'm glad from the inside out, ecstatic; I've p[itched my tent in the land of hope... You've got my feet on the life path, with your face shining sun-joy all around. Acts 2:25-28

TRUST

Where you are right now is God's place for you. Live and obey and love and believe right there. I Corinthians 7:17

I have never beeen a millionaire, but I have enjoyed a great meal, a crackling fire, a glorious sunset, a walk with a friend, a hug from a child, a cup of soup, a kiss behind the ear. There are plenty of life's tiny delights for all of us. Jack Anthony

BLESSING

Your blessed when you care. At the moment of being
"care-ful," you find yourselves cared for. You're blessed when you get
your inside world--your mind and heart-- put right. Then you can see God
in the outside world. Mattthew 5:7-8

PRAISE

Now to him who can keep you on your feet, standing tall in his bright presence, fresh and celebrating--to our one God, our only Savior, through Jesus Christ, our Master, be glory, majesty, strength, and rule before all time, and now, and to the end of all time. Jude 1:24-25

INSPIRATION

Each Christmas we all have that longing to get away from the hustle and bustle of the holidays to go deeper with our Savior than ever before. The book by Walter Wangerin, IN THE DAYS OF THE ANGELS has been that inspiration for me. I long for you to have that experience too. It can be ordered from Amazon.  Kay

You'll do your best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious--the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse...Do that and God who makes everything to work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies. Philippians 4:8,9

JOY

YOU, WHOSE DAY IT IS, GET OUT YOUR RAINBOW COLORS AND MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL!!

May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole make you holy and whole, put you together--spirit, soul, and body--and keep you fit fot the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. The one who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he'll do it! I Thessalonians 5:23,24

TRUST

Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track. Proverb 3:5,6

Open your mouth and taste. Open your eyes and see how good God is. Blessed are you who run to him. Psalm 34:8,9

Joy

"What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. these are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable. " Joseph Addison

Holy Spirit

What happens when we live God's way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard--things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. Galations 5:22 kaysjoytoyou.com

TRUST

I look behind me and you're there, then up ahead and you're there too--Your reassuring presence, coming and going. This is too much, too wonderful--I can't take it all in! Psalm 139:5,6

JOY

"It was a place that put music in my heart and sunshine in my mind, a place serene. As I sat there, leaves danced above my head and laughed. The grass danced a jig and the hills sang a joyous song. How rich can any man be?" Dick Bogue kaysjoytoyou.com

FAITH

" A lot of time spent in the outdoors sharpened his hearing to both the voices of the wilderness environment and the human tongue. He learned the voices of the wind and waves and of the water in creeek, river and sky. He knew the voice of red dawn and golden twilight with daytime sounds sandwiched between. Night sounds were as familiar as the beating of his heart, the almost silent beating wings of an owl in flight and the mouse cry in fear of the voice of death. He even heard the voice of shadows of the trees as they moved with moonlights path and the sap running life into the trees, shrubs and grasses. The voice of the flowering bud opening into full bloom was a sweet song. The storms voice was heard a long way off. He heard the voice of falling snow and the beauty of butterfly wings. He heard it all because it was only one voice, the voice of God. " By Dick Bogue

JOY

" There are souls in this world who have the gift of finding joy everywhere and of leaving it behind them when they go."
