I've got the joy joy joy joy down in my heart...


"Do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength" Nehemiah 8:10b

I do to many things in my daily life without real joy. I do things because I HAVE to such as go to work, load the dishwasher, fill up the gas tank...... I ought to be joyful while I complete these daily tasks because I have every reason to be happy all the time. Therefore I plan to first find joy within myself, then eventually, others will hopefully see as well!

"A joyful heart makes a cheerful face, But when the heart is sad, the spirit is broken" Proverbs 15:13

Here is a post about our Maker and further reason to have JOY every day. Remember that SONG many of us used to sing growing up... 

"I've got the joy joy joy joy down in my heart. Where? Down in my heart. Where? Down in my heart. I've got the joy joy joy joy down in my heart, down in my heart to stay! And I'm so happy, so very happy, I've got the love of Jesus in my heart!"
