Happy new year! So sorry for the late greeting. Wishing you all happiness and joy! Happiness to nourish your soul, and joy to nourish your spirit. More joy, though, to get you through the trying times you might encounter.
2 Corinthians 8:2 (NIV)
2 In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.
James 1:2-3 (NIV)
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
Happiness comes in bottles and jars.
Joy is in the air and the stars.
Happiness comes in gifts and given things.
Joy is in needs met and blessings.
Happiness comes in toys and art.
Joy is in hugs, expressions of the heart.
Happiness comes in gaining and winning.
Joy is in sincere acceptance of losing.
Happiness comes in receiving love.
Joy is in giving love from God above.
Even if happiness may not always be there.
Rest assured knowing that joy will always care.
May happiness and joy come into your life to stay.
May they help you walk closer with God each day.
