This week I am doing my first photo journal. Sharing the joy with you I hold down in my heart, and not necessarily on my face. For all these things I am grateful. I wonder, what brings you joy?
Seeing the Cross that my Savior gave His life on, just for me, gives me joy that leads to tears.
Hanging with my youth group at an encounter with Jesus for the weekend, yep, definitely joyful!
The smiles on my beautiful girls’ faces, and the words they pray makes for some big JOY!
A beautiful sunset with a rainbow outside my home, because our God is over the top, gives me Joy.
And you….insert pic of you here:)…..Knowing you may have an enounter with God through this blog gives me eternal joy!
What gives you joy Beloved? Leave a comment below.
Remember you don’t have to be smiling when there is joy down in your heart.
List the things that give you JOY
and……
that smile will creep up out of your heart and suddenly appear on your face when you least expect it to. The joy of the Lord is our strength. Check out Nehemiah 8:9.
Blessings to you Beloved. ❤ Melinda

I, like Mary, am mostly found at the feet of Jesus asking for words that give life. I blog straight from the heart with the encouragement gleaned from sitting at His feet. So sit down at the well and drink deep. Know you are His Beloved.
I am 46, on disability due to Fibromyalgia, a worshiper, a daughter of a King, a wife with the best husband in the world, a mother of four beautiful girls, a student pursuing a degree in Christian Counseling, a writer, a vocalist, and coffee lover. My best friend is a good book, and my nemesis is the perpetual laundry pile. I love to watch movies that take me away, quilt, crochet, knit, and learn.
I pray the words written here are not written in vain but are purposed by God to encourage His Beloved. Thank you for stopping by. Oh, How He Loves Us!
