Look for JOY Treats!


            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Treat yourself to as much as you can hold!

            Blessings are like treats!  Today let’s be on the lookout for treats of JOY.  If we’re seeking them, we can find them hidden throughout our day. Sometimes we’re just too busy or in such a rush that we miss them!  Other times they are disguised as something else---maybe even a problem.

            We’ve all heard stories of how some person was delayed on his way to work or on a trip, and then found out later that he had avoided a bad accident.  I wonder how many times we’ve been treated to the protection of God?!  Today, let’s look for the obvious treats of joy that we miss frequently because of our busy, hectic schedules. Or maybe our JOY glasses need cleaning so that we can see more clearly. A few examples:

  • Laughter among friends
  • A smile and kind word…just when we need it
  • The birth of a new baby
  • A slice of your favorite pie
  • A card from a family member or close friend
  • The ability and strength to face a new day

Okay…are your joy thoughts flowing? Start making your own list of the hidden treats God has packed into this day especially for you. As Psalm 16:11 says:  "You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

             How many joy treats can you find today?  Make sure the Joy Juice of Jesus is number one on your list!
