Fresh Joy...Every Day!



           Have you had your Joy Juice today!  There is always a fresh serving for each of us.

            Are you eating leftovers today?  We are at my house! Family and friends gathered yesterday in homes throughout our country and feasted on traditional (and maybe some non-traditional) meals in celebration of Thanksgiving Day.  And as quickly as it came…it’s over.   Hopefully, memories were made and time together was enjoyed.

            As we pull out the leftovers and make sandwiches or soup or stew from what’s left of the turkey or ham….let’s remind ourselves that God’s servings of grace, mercy and joy are fresh & new every morning.  We don’t have to rely on “leftovers”.  Some of the ‘jewels of joy’ that I’ve found in scripture relating to His “freshness” can be found throughout the Word of God:

·         Isaiah 43:19: “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
·         2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
·         And of course, Lamentations 3:22-23: “Because of the LORD’S great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

        God is in the Fresh Foods business.  Accept your pure, fresh, joy-filled blessings as you partake of the Bread of Life!
