What gives you joy?

Laughter of the people big and small who I love. Making someone happy or laugh who is sad or depressed. Witnessing to a non-believer my faith in God, and see that it has made an impression. Seeing my pets happy and healthy. My dog when she is riding in the car at night, and sticking her head out the window with her ears blowing in the wind, smiling, it seems. My husband telling me he is happy with his life. My children and grandchildren happy and healthy. A beautiful sunset, the stars on a clear night, praying and feeling God's love and presence. The most powerful thing that gives me joy, is to know that I have the Holy Spirit within me giving me strength and love/protection. Getting a good bill of health. Having family over and laughing at the dinner table, taking pictures, and the little ones entertaining with dance and song. Looking at my beautiful yard, and know that God and I made it happen. Too many to list.

Knowing this life is temporal and If I continue to live right in the eyes of God. I can share in His Heavenly Kingdom. My daughther secondly gives me joy because she has so much personality. I get joy in traveling and a few of my other hobbies. Also being ahead on bills and having a little extra money helps bring joy too.

I recieve the greatest joy when I am able to share the Gospel with someone, give Godly counsel that really helps someone, provide for a real need, and when I receive enlightenment from the Holy Spirit while studying and reading the Lord's precious Word.

The Joy that is rooted in faith. When one receives an answer & then when the manifestation comes.

Of course God gives me joy. Family gives me joy. Friends give me joy.

Seeing my 3rd grandbaby in the womb gave me much joy last week. Because we found out that she is a girl. But the pictures were fun. One was the feet prints only. Then also the mouth opening & closing & sticking her tongue out.

There are many things in life that give me joy, I could write a page full, but the most joy I have ever felt is from my heart when I see God move in someone like someone surrendering and giving there life to God.

What gives me joy is being with family and helping friends....I use to think that money would give me joy. I pursued money and the more I made the more unhappy I was!...If someone tells you that money will bring you true happiness is lying.....true joy and happiness comes from God and God alone.

Joy is a spiritual strength. Unlike Happiness which comes and goes like the fair weather friend.

It' funny, but I usually find the most joy in the smallest of things. In spring when the first blossom appears in the garden; in the morning when one of my cats bat my face till I wake up; at night, when I FINALLY get a comfortable position where there is no pain in any part of my body.--okay, maybe that last one is more relief than joy. I aso find joy in conquering some aspect of this electronic world we live in.

My joy comes from Christ in me.
John 15:11 These things I have spoken to you that My joy may be in you ,and that your joy may be made full.
Earthly things may bring temporary enjoyment, but true joy is from Christ and is always there in whatever circumstances you find your self in.
