standing up

the joy of the Lord is your strength
Nehamiah 8:10

I read a book last week on joy, it gave me a whole new perspective on joy. it is not really a touchy feely thing, but a real, tangible and inner peace that God desires us to have.
i feel like i am on a journey. one that i am on by myself in most cases. how fun and uplifting to have my husband or children on the same ride. i know they are on their own journeys but i want this same joy for them.

i sat through several basketball games last week with parents that were out of control. rude comments directed to youngsters. coaches that are angry and wild. what? what is up? what is going o n? what kind of example does this set? how does this prepare our young people to be men of God or to lead with character? or maybe we will get what we deserve. i am sure we will...

we are a twisted society, spoiled and selfish. i see it every single day. people unwilling to give of themselves, me included. i see where i could add to someones life or make a bigger difference. we were destined and designed to serve.

blessings and peace to all i know and for the peace that passes all understanding to my husband and children...
