JOY

"It was a place that put music in my heart and sunshine in my mind, a place serene. As I sat there, leaves danced above my head and laughed. The grass danced a jig and the hills sang a joyous song. How rich can any man be?" Dick Bogue kaysjoytoyou.com

FAITH

" A lot of time spent in the outdoors sharpened his hearing to both the voices of the wilderness environment and the human tongue. He learned the voices of the wind and waves and of the water in creeek, river and sky. He knew the voice of red dawn and golden twilight with daytime sounds sandwiched between. Night sounds were as familiar as the beating of his heart, the almost silent beating wings of an owl in flight and the mouse cry in fear of the voice of death. He even heard the voice of shadows of the trees as they moved with moonlights path and the sap running life into the trees, shrubs and grasses. The voice of the flowering bud opening into full bloom was a sweet song. The storms voice was heard a long way off. He heard the voice of falling snow and the beauty of butterfly wings. He heard it all because it was only one voice, the voice of God. " By Dick Bogue

FAITH

They who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. they shall walk and not faint.

TRUST

Since God assured us, "I'll never let you down, never walk off and leave you," we can boldly quote, "God is there ready to help; I'm fearless no matter what. Who or what can get to me? Hebrews 13:5-6

God plays no favorites! It makes no difference who you are or where you're from--if you want God and are ready to do as he says, the door is open. The message he sent to the children of Israel--that through Jesus Christ everything is being put together again--well, he's doing it everywhere, among everyone. Acts 10:34-36 kaysjoytoyou.com

Now that we know what we have--Jesus this great High Priest with ready access to God, let's not let it slip through our fingers. We don't have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He's been through weakness and testing, experienced it all--all but the sin. So, let's walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help. Hebrews 4:14-16 kaysjoytoyou.com

I want you woven into a tapestry of love, in touch with everything there is to know of God. Then you will have minds confident and at rest, focused on Christ, God's great mystery. All the richest treasures of wisdom and knowledge are embedded in that mystery and no where else. Colossians 2:2-3

And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to bloom.

FAITH

God can do anything, you know--far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!
Ephesians 3:20

What we carry----------Is it a burden or is it a joy? Does it shackle you or does it set you free? Did you choose to carry a burden or did another put the burden on you? Have you loaded your burden on another or have you picked up someone's burden with a helping hand to lighten their load and found that it didn't add to your own. Instead it lightened both burdens with a new sense of joy. Has someone given you a helping hand to cary your burden ? If you accepted it you found relief and freedom along with gratitude and joy.

STRENGTH

Truth, righteousness, peace and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You'll need them throughout your life. God's Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Ephesians 6:14-18
