Thankful Thursday - Joy

The last three posting titles: Grief, Suffering, Lost. ugh. It's definitely time to turn to a happier subject. Joy. There are so many things that bring me joy. My wonderful husband. My family. Shopping. Wait. What? Come now......who doesn't like to shop? For this:

Don't those look fun? And dangerously high? What about these?

Let's not forget the guys.....

....or the teens:

But if you don't have this:

Joy to the World , the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

....none of the rest matters. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21. Find your joy today, This Day, in the loving arms of Jesus. Start today, This Day! by joining Greg and Lynn with your own Thankful Thursday post.

Peace and Joy
