Is it a great day to be alive or what??
How's your cup this morning?
Remember I told you about that fantastic book I found?
"Unleashing the Power of JOY"!!!???
by Dale Crawshaw
This book is so encouraging! He gives Biblical examples
of people who found joy amidst all different types of
circumstances!!
DEFINITELY MY KIND OF BOOK!
He says we are contagious! Yep, we have a virus!
A glorious spiritual virus inside that everyone around
us needs to catch!!! All of us who have been saved
by the grace of God are infected!!!
There are so many people
walking around that need
you to share a little, delicious
taste of your JOY with them!!
In order to be viral with joy, we have to walk in the victory
and freedom that Christ has given to His children!
We must look for the miraculous and the blessings
in each day instead of focusing on things that may make us feel defeated,
or depressed.
This just in....WE ALL HAVE PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH
AND TRIALS TO FACE!!
HOW we face them is our choice!!
When we face our problems and day to day challenges
with our focus squarely on Christ
and all He has done for us, we cannot help but be
filled with JOY and make people wonder how we
could possibly be doing so well!!!
Then we will feel that wonder and sense of awe and JOY
that will make us so contagious that everyone around us will be infected!!
WE MUST CHOOSE TO WALK IN JOY!!!
AND THEN GO OUT INTO OUR WORLD AND
SPREAD OUR SPIRITUAL VIRUS TO EVERYONE WE COME
IN CONTACT WITH!!
NOW DON'T JUST SIT THERE!!
GO INFECT SOMEONE!!

ReplyDeleteHi Becky,

Hi Becky! Your words in the post lifted me today ...What a wonderful blessing you are! We all need to keep in the forefront of our minds that others are watching how we handle day to day living...the good and the bad. I choose to live a joyful life with Christ.

I'm following your blog now--it's such an encouraging and inspirational spot to light for a while! I noticed your pets--is Princess Penelope a toy fox terrier? Maybe I can search through your archives and find out...
