“But on my ride back home I said to the Lord..Father, thank you for all the laughter..and thank you for your healing that comes along with it..Praise the Lord..for the scripture says a joyful heart is a good medicine..but a crushed spirit dries up your bones..Proverbs 17:22..Amen..so in life whatever you do..don’t lose your joy..for the joy of the Lord is your strength..Nehemiah 8:10..so go for joy in your life..go for laughter..go for things in life that brings you happiness..Amen..follow hard after them things..don’t let life get you down..don’t let others bring you down..but you stir yourself up in the Lord..seek Gods face..for in His presence there is fullness of Joy..Psalm 16:11..Amen..because if not careful..you will get stuck in a routine of bitterness..and of grumbling..and complaining..and being a naysayer..and that is not a place we want to get at in our lives..so thank the Lord for your happiness..and thank Him today that you are not depressed..that you are not living a life of fear..Amen..thank Him for your freedom..and for your many blessings that He alone so freely gives..and daily so..Praise the Lord..for God is an incredible Lord..and He loves us so much..and He always gives and brings to us them things in our lives that we are so desperately in need of..Amen..so have a blessed filled day..go find that joy..go find that happiness..go watch that funny movie..I don’t know but whatever you don’t lose your Joy..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
