I can't wait to hear what your joy is....Tracie,<br />I can't wait to hear what your joy is...so don't forget to share next week! <br />I think this is such a great post. Last week in the midst of some stress an unexpected joy came. Then I started looking for other joys and realized that there are many, many joys to help us through the anguish. Sometimes I just need to remember to look for them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-76661209367188041282012-02-11T08:41:00.118-05:002012-02-11T08:41:00.118-05:00A resounding YES, YES, YES to all your questions. ...A resounding YES, YES, YES to all your questions. We are currently studying "James - Mercy Triumphs" at our church . I love the book of James. Many years ago I discovered "Consider it pure joy whenever we experience trials" and to this day find great comfort in the rest of that particular instruction "because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. <br />Joy during a trial is not something that comes easy however in time and with my willingness God is always faithful to help me find His joy in the midst of darkness and bring me back to the light of His promises.Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004970233426477242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-49193491662501628122012-02-10T23:23:45.171-05:002012-02-10T23:23:45.171-05:00Thank you for being God's obedient servant! T...Thank you for being God's obedient servant! This was just what I needed to hear after returning from Colorado where I spent the last week with my brother and his family. My sister-in-law died peacefully a day after I arrived. She had battled Lou Gehrig's disease. We had a wonderful celebration of her life on Wednesday knowing she is now pain free, dancing on streets of gold! Even though I am physically and emotionally drained I know God will sustain me. He will give my family joy amid the anguish!<br /><br />Donna<br />http://TheGod-Quester.blogspot.comThe God-Questerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194969901896738990noreply@blogger.com
