Stealing Joy

Someone is trying to steal my joy! It’s Satan. He may use others to do his work, but ultimately it is Satan.
But guess what? I AM NOT GOING TO LET HIM!!!!!!!

“There is deceit in the hearts of those who plot evil, but joy for those who promote peace.” Proverbs 12:20

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds”—James 1:2

So times may be hard, but I am turning to God!!! The source of all joy!!!

I am finding joy in a beautiful fall day!
I am finding joy in the smiles and laughter of my children!
I am finding joy in helping others!
I am finding joy in praying for those who are trying to steal my joy!
I am finding joy in the upcoming birth of a dear friend’s child!
I am finding joy in making new friends!
I am finding joy in mending relationships!
I am finding joy in spending time with my Holy Father!

I hope you find joy today and everyday!!
