During this time of vacation (and the reason for my lack of blogging) I have had endless moments of joy and happiness. Sun, water, and family can hardly be beat in the fun and happiness category. A beautiful lake, jet skis, a speed boat all add to a happy setting. But my favorite moments were when I had a chance to just float in the water with my daughter and talk.
Now that I’m not on the lake, the happiness I felt has subsided. But not my joy or the time floating, talking about nothing and everything, with my daughter. A sunset can end but joyful times building a relationship has eternal value.
The Bible says in Psalms 28:7 “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.” Family time builds me up because I can see the strength in our once one family, is now four families.
My family is growing and I place my trust in God. Joy is the result of a life trusting in Him instead of running from one “Happy” moment to another. Joy comes through an abundance of time “floating on the water and talking”.
