Buckets Full of JOY....Just Ask! :)



            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Do you want a tiny sip or a great big serving?  It’s up to you…..just ask!

            Jim Rohn says that “asking is the beginning of receiving.  Make sure that you don’t go to the ocean with a teaspoon.”

            When you ask God for blessings, do you expect Him to answer….abundantly?   Or do you send up half-hearted prayers, not expecting much. There’s a story told about George Mueller that illustrates how God loves each of us and wants to bless us in even the minor details of our lives!  

             "Mueller was moving his family and his ministry to another part of England.  All day, workmen carried Mueller’s household belongings over the hill and down to the barge that would take them to their new home.  As the barge was about to push off from shore, they noticed that everything was safely on board except one thing—George Mueller’s favorite chair.  But the captain refused to delay his departure.

          So Mueller stood on the deck and prayed aloud, “O Lord, please hurry and bring me my chair.” The captain, scoffed at this minister who would bother almighty God with such a silly request. He ordered his crew to untie the mooring lines.  Just then a man crested the hill, running.  He was carrying George’s favorite chair on his head! "

         Now, how ‘bout that for a serving of JOY!?

        Never forget that what’s important to you, is important to God! Get your buckets ready for an outpouring of JOY! And start asking…NOW!
