A Double, Triple Scoop of JOY



            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  It adds much flavor to your life!

            One thing you can just about ALWAYS find at our house is ice cream!  Our grandjoys know that Papa and Gigi will have a stash waiting for their visits!   Friends who come for a meal  are sure to be offered ice cream.  We have one young friend, Hayden, who feels “at home” enough to go to cabinet, find his ice cream bowl, open the freezer and get his scoop or two or three!  That brings me joy!

            When on a road trip or vacation, you better believe we can spot an ice cream shop from miles away!  Baskin Robbins is our friend! One source tells us that Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins began making ice cream in 1945. Their mission was to create delicious ice cream concoctions with loads of ingredients and fanciful names…one for every day the month…thus their “31 flavors” initial concept.  Since then, over 1,000 different ice cream flavors have been created and enjoyed.  (https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070225091418AAH8hd0)

            So why all this talk of the many flavors of ice cream?  Because as much as I like ice cream and as many different flavors from which we can choose, it pales in comparison to the multitudes of flavors God created when He made people. Just think about the many awesome “flavors” of friends He has put in your life!

            Perhaps one of the most quoted verses in the Bible regarding friendship is
Proverbs 17:17 “A friend loves at all times…”   Are you that kind of friend?

            Be a genuine friend who adds flavor to other’s lives.  Not only will you bring joy to their lives, but you’ll receive joy in double and triple scoops!
