Psalms 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
I believe that being joyful is a condition of the heart. An inward condition not based on outward circumstances.

- My kids bring me joy! All their unique personalities and quirks make for interesting and fun days.
- My husband makes me joyful. His love for me and his family just pours out in all he does for us. I love my hubbalicious.
- My best friend and all my new blogger friends have brought even more joy to my life. What a wonderful thing to be able to come together and laugh and cry and pray with or for one another.
- Man ,I really want to put that peanut butter ice cream brings me joy but that is more of an inward craving for an outward indulgence. Let's just say it makes me really really happy!
- Since we are on this road, COFFEE makes me pretty happy!
- When did this start heading south and I start talking about food? I was doing so well and then WHOOSH! What can I say, I write from the heart and THEN from the stomach! Those two organs aren't that far apart you know. You can't blame me!
- Now where was I.....oh yes JOY! Last but certainly not least. I am joyful that I am a child of God. Knowing my eternal destination brings me the greatest JOY of all!

Great post! All joyful things to be thankful for. I agree that those same things bring joy to my life. Well, it's my kids and my hubby and so forth, but you get my point.
ReplyDeleteI think it's so beautiful to focus on our blessings instead of our "curses."
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love your new header!
Good morning Kim,

Blessings to you today my sweet friend.

You are an absolute joy, my friend! Happy Thankful Thursday! I loved reading your list.
ReplyDeleteahahahhahah..... you make me laugh... I think that's okay for that peanut butter... yummy..
ReplyDeleteand... food really brings joy, doesn't it?
Loved your post...peanut butter ice creams sends me on rabbit trails all the time! Thanks for sharing today!
ReplyDeleteSo glad I clicked the Mr. Linky list backwards. Sometimes I don't get to the posts as the end of the list.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been a shame to have missed visiting with you. Thanks for the great way you spread joy today. I was right there with you on the tummy joys: coffee, ice cream...'cept I like rabbit tracks...chocolate bunnies with peanut butter on the inside, then I top it with chopped peanuts.
I've been enticed by the smell of very ripe bananas...what a joy for me to spot your cooking blog link with the Banana Bread recipe. Guess what treat I'm serving this evening? *wink* Thanks for such a joyful visit.

You always spread joy! Your new header is looking even cuter today with those pics!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. It's easy to forget how blessed we are. Writing down a thanks list like this ought to be part of our daily activities. All we have to do is look around, and we will see how much God has blessed us.
ReplyDeleteAnd you, my sweet friend, are among my blessings. Thanks for being a friend.
Love in Christ,
Patti

What a fun list. I often write from the stomach too. It's hard not to, isn't it?
