It was one of those weeks.
One that had me yearning to climb straight back into bed. And when I realized that was the last thing that was gonna happen, I found myself counting the hours ’til bedtime rolled around again.
And so I counted joy …
I know it deeper now: This eucharisteo is no game
of Pollyanna but the hard edge of blade.

How are you finding Joy? Are you seeing God in the small details of your life? Dare to join me in the Joy Dare?
Dear Tracie, thought I would start my own list of joys. Here goes:
1. “31 Days of Faith…Finding Joy in Your Anguish”
2. Blind date that led me to the “love of my life”
3. Having a twin sister…best friend and confident.
A start…and a good one. Thanks for continuing to inspire me with your faith and friendship.
I just love the picture of your life that I get when I read what you’re thankful for!
Precious! I have also done a few lengthy lists concerning thankfulness.
