Five Minute Friday: Joy

Today as I start the clock and write for five minutes I look back on my week and at the joy I was able to have.

This week I had the joy of celebrating the life of a man who is gone far to soon for us but for the Lord it was the perfect time. Jesse Ravega was a wonderful encouragement and lived in the joy of the Lord. He brought joy to the lives he touched. I was honored to know him.

I have joy in knowing that I will get to see him again, but my greatest joy is in the fact that the same God who decided it was time to take Jesse home is the same wonderful God who I serve.

I find joy in the ministry He has given to me and in the family He has allowed me to have. My son brings joy to my life with his smiles and laughter. The Lord brings so much joy into our lives and we often overlook it. Lord, help me to dwell on Your joy and help me to share Your joy with others!

Well my time is up… until next time!
