When life hands us lemons and when tears of pain come in the night, we make a lemon meringue pie and know that Joy will come in the morning. (Psalm 30:5)
The growing mountain of Joy in us is much bigger than the rocks of disappointment that are thrown at us. (Psalm 16:9)
“The Joy of the Lord is our strength.” Be Strong! More Joy! (Nehemiah 8:10)
We are called to be people of Gratitude. Our cup is not just half full. Our cup is overflowing! (I Thessalonians 5:18)
Fixing our eyes on Jesus. For the joy set before us, we endured the cross, for we cannot wait to sit down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2)

AMEN!
