Joy in the Small Things



Throughtout each day I work hard to cultivate my joy, which comes only from God within me, and is nurtured by taking note of all the gifts of beauty that I come across during my daily repetitive work and this joy gives me strength to get through even the hardest times.

Warm wishes, Tonya

    Yes, yes- slowing down and noticing the beauty in the simple things. . .there would be more peace and joy and thankfulness in our world. Instead, for many life has become so complicated that they do not recognize it and spend so much time unhappy and under stress!
    As always, thank you for a heart warming message, Tonya!

    PTL for JOY and Thankfulness. I just posted a similar blog post yesterday, it was a verse from my morning Biblestudy and it truly touched my heart. If we work at seeing all the beauty and blessings in our lives Joy with grow and thrive and also in line, should grow our Thankfulness.

    Thanks for sharing, we love your families blog and read and reread the newsletter. :o)
