Thank you for the lovely posts. I was gone Friday to Sunday visiting my aunt. She’s 87 and so dear to me. She loves to shop. We had a great time. She makes sure to tell me when she needs a rest or to go home for the day. She’s doing well for being close to 90. We marvel at how old we have gotten, “how did that happen?”. Her oldest son is 65. She wonders how that is possible.

Playing with Joy

Bible in a Year: Job 1–2; Acts 7:22–43

The fruit of the Spirit is . . . joy. Galatians 5:22

One of our sons, Brian, is a high school basketball coach. One year, as his team was dribbling its way through the Washington State Basketball Tournament, well-meaning folks around town asked, “Are you going to win it all this year?” Both players and coaches felt the pressure, so Brian adopted a motto: “Play with joy!”

I thought of the apostle Paul’s last words to the elders of Ephesus: “That I may finish my race with joy” (Acts 20:24 nkjv). His aim was to complete the tasks Jesus had given him. I have made these words my motto and my prayer: “May I run and finish my race with joy.” Or as Brian says, “May I play with joy!” And by the way, Brian’s team did win the state championship that year.

We all have good reasons to get grouchy: discouraging news, everyday stresses, health problems. Nevertheless, God can give us a joy that transcends these conditions if we ask Him. We can have what Jesus called, “my joy” (John 15:11).

Joy is a fruit of the Spirit of Jesus (Galatians 5:22). So we must remember each morning to ask Him to help us: “May I play with joy!” Author Richard Foster said, “To pray is to change. This is a great grace. How good of God to provide a path whereby our lives can be taken over by . . . joy.”

By David H. Roper

Reflect & Pray

What causes you to be discouraged? Where do you find your joy?

I turn my eyes to You, God. I’m grateful I can count on Your faithfulness to me. Please bring me into Your joy.

Auntie likes that I can drive her to her favorite stores. She only drives to a few low traffic areas on her own. It’s so good to spend a few days with her.
We went to the many thrift stores in her town. Found a few treasures.

Have a good Monday!

I’d like a sunny beach!
Raining here again. Rained hard Saturday night.

The sky is lightening up a bit now.
I hope the rain becomes more “normal” soon.
Been getting too much precipitation for the last year.

Cheers for sunny days!

Oh yeah, the dogs love the smelly stuff.
Moose rolled in some organic slime a few weeks ago and he got a swift soapy bath in the yard with the garden hose-not his usual warm bath in the house. They just love getting smelly. Ick!
