His Joy is Our Strength
Hello boys and girls,
What a great day!!
This week I had some time to sit back and do a lot of reflecting. I had some shoulder surgery and haven't been able to get out. I even missed our Easter Egg Hunt and After Party Friday. First one I missed.
While I was down God spoke to me about the importance of "joy". So what did I do with it. What I normally do -- wrote a song. I'll let you in on round 2 of revisions:
This is a day to celebrate
This is a day to remember God is good!!
Ev'ryone who loves Him
Ev'ryone who's glad
Lift up your voice and remember God is good.
I may be poor
I may be weak but the Lord is thinking of me
so I won't forget. {Psalms 40:16-17 TLB)
The Joy of the Lord is our strength
His glory revealed in this place (Isaiah 41:16 TLB)
Thank God I am free by His grace
His joy is my strength.
So count it as joy when you face
The troubles of life come your way
Thank God for His pow'r ev'ryday
His Joy is my strength.
Now I'm aware of the effects of vicodin on you system (ha ha) but there's a ton of truth in the lyrics. Be joyful. It's more than a plastic smile; it's power from God!!
Have a fantastic Easter.

Hey Big Man. I hope that your shoulder is feeling better. I can't believe that you missed a Easter Egg Hunt. Man I can remember those. So much work, but so rewarding. All done for the glory of God and the "joy" of the masses of kids.
See I did learn a thing or two over the years from you owe wise teacher. As I grow older the things I learned and the things that I may have taken for granted become more obvious.
I would love to see the rest of those song lyrics, I think your on to something. Happy be-lated Easter.
