So today let’s remember? Let something steal your Joy today & you let something steal your strength.

“The joy of the Lord is your strength” Ps 5:11.

Today Joy will not just happen.

Today Joy will not just come unbidden.

Every moment Joy must be taken.

Every moment Joy must be chosen. 

Every moment Joy must be RECHOSEN.

Because His Joy is your OXYGEN.

And the people living plain and down to earth know it— if you let something steal your thanksgiving, you let something steal your joy, and if you let something steal your joy, you let something steal your strength…

…so that in everything we can stand strong in God today!

That’s all for this weekend, friends.

Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.

Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again

Share Whatever Is Good.
