Day 13 of Advent

Elaine C. (2005)

Why Seek Him?

Gratefully we seek the Master King
For prayerful peace with His wings.

We seek Him to comfort and console,
When worldly problems take control.

Grace abounds, if we just ask,
He will forgive, what ‘er the task.

No pain, misfortune, nor sorrow harms,
We are safe in those loving arms.

Seeking Jesus day by day,
As we walk life’s narrow way.

Our joy complete when last we see,
His presence near at the victory!

Jesus has blessed my life with countless amounts of joy.  Christ has given me a wonderful family, and excellent friends.  I   feel blessed to have so many sources of joy in my life and I try to thank God everyday.

Carol K. (2007)

Taking time for hugs, smiles, kind words;
Listening and responding to those in need;
Seeking to bring joy to others each day.
Filling my cup full with joy brought to me.
Letting joy overflow from and to me.
Celebrating all God's gifts.
Looking forward, with open arms.

That is my joy in walking with Jesus.

Kaity H. (2007)

Jesus has brought JOY into my life in many ways.  
He has given me a shoulder to fall on when the road is treacherous.  He has given me a family that loves and He has given me true friends to laugh with as well as to slap me back into reality when necessary.   Bless us all.
