Today's Serving of JOY JUICE

Have you had your JOY JUICE today?
Joy Juice---Relationships---Ice Cream
What do they all have in common?  Each comes in a variety of flavors!

God has many ways that He brings JOY into our lives; and "special relationships" is one of those ways.  Some of our friends are like good, old dependable vanilla ice cream...tried and true.  What a JOY to have friends that you know are going to be there for you no matter what life may serve up on the side!

Then there are the "Nutty Buddies"!  They make us laugh and fill our days with lots of JOY and merriment!  They seem to know just what to say to life our spirits.

Occasionally, we encounter the "Bittersweet Mint" variety of friend, who tells us not what we want to hear necessarily, but what we need to hear...because they love us.

And then we have the rare friend who is like the "Chocolate Fudge Swirl Truffle".  They seem to have a lot of extra love, joy, peace, patience, kindness...well.....Maybe we should call them the "Tuity Fruity" flavor, because we see the fruit of the Spirit throughout their lives.  They challenge us to pursue a closer relationship with the Lord.

Aren't we glad that God makes friends in a variety of flavors?  It's the "cherry on top" that He adds to make our lives abundantly JOYful!
