This beautiful Miss Kim lilac is in the process of warming up so she can sing her song. Snapped this photo last night after I got home. This bush was a present from Mom years ago. The lilac bush in the backyard was here when Joe and I moved here. May your day be filled… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Happy Mother’s Day! While researching Bible verses for Mother’s Day, part of the following verses was suggested. However, I added the previous verse to provide better context to Paul’s writing. These verses are appropriate for any woman, not just mothers. Beauty comes from within and not from without. As a tribute to my mother, I&... mehr auf joyreturns.com

If I need to get up in the middle of the night, before going back to bed, I pray. The Bible I use is the New King James Version of The Prayer Bible by Thomas Nelson. Each chapter contains a prayer prompt. At first, I prayed the prompt over me. That did not seem right.… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Happy May! Here is a lilac stem for you. Not sure if this is the first or the last of the lilacs, as it is the only stem in bloom. Some of the branches did not survive the harsh winter. May the merry month of May be filled with an abundance of joy and song… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Rhea began speaking to God in the parking lot of a Gurgaon hospital. Not because she was particularly religious. She wasn’t. She had the usual modern arrangement with faith — respectful during turbulence, indifferent during stability. She owned three versions of the Bhagavad Gita she had never properly read, reposted Rumi quotes on difficult evenin... mehr auf sumitajetley.wordpress.com
I have a friend — let us call him Tariq, though that is not his name — who built a small empire in the years after liberalization. Import-export, mostly. Electronics, then textiles, then something to do with logistics that I never quite understood but which seemed to make him comfortable in the way that only … ... mehr auf sumitajetley.wordpress.com
Time for blogging has been short due to extremely high productivity in other areas of life. Today’s post is a reminder of what God considers important. All widows are to be cared for, no matter how rich or poor. Caring for widows not only means doing oil changes and lawn mowing, but it also means… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Yesterday was one of those days when the NOAA weather radio blared severe storm watches and warnings numerous times throughout late afternoon and early evening. As a result of the heavy rain, the River Kearns returned. 😀 Rainwater flows out of the mouth into the sewer pipe under the neighbor’s land. From there who knows… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com

I’ve been watching for the gladiolus to burst forth from the ground. On Tuesday, it started coming up. The gladiolus is special because in October 2023, it bloomed for the second time that year. It was just after Mom went on hospice. I took it as a sign of comfort and reassurance from God that… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
There was once a man who sat every morning at the edge of a crowded marketplace. Eyes closed. Spine straight. Breath measured. People began to notice. “Look,” they whispered, “a man of discipline.” “Look,” others said, “a man who has found peace.” The man heard them. Not with his ears—but somewhere deeper. And slowly, almost … ... mehr auf sumitajetley.wordpress.com
Good Morning. Hopefully, you had a great day celebrating Jesus’ resurrection yesterday. I did not have a post planned for today but upon walking through the dining room on the way to get water for my Keurig, I saw this: Yes, that is snow. big fluffy flakes furiously floating through the air to the ground.… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
HE IS RISEN! The stone was rolled away and the tomb was found empty. The empty tomb is definitive proof that joy returns in the morning.

Here we are, the day in between Good Friday and Easter. We know we are waiting for tomorrow, the celebration of Jesus walking out of the tomb. His followers waited and mourned. Waiting for what they did not know, because how could a dead man rebuild a temple? Especially in only 3 days. Wait on… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Jesus endured this for you and me. Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Eighteen years ago today, Joe literally gave his heart to another man. It was his wish. He signed up for organ donation when he renewed his driver’s license about a year before his passing. Joe was happier than a kid on Christmas Day when he showed me his new license. In honor of his wish… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
I’ve had this photo on my mind for weeks. Finally able to get it done but not as envisioned. Smiley Simone was supposed to be hanging from the tall loop on the gate, and not the little thingy on the side.

Today marks the last weekend of month in which Joe passed. As another anniversary month has almost gone, joy and grief have coexisted beautifully. Yes, there have been moments of grief, but they have been just that – moments. Moments of grief after eighteen years is normal. What is not normal is wallowing in your… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com

Halloween …. Eine Ausrede, sich als halbstarker Erwachsener oder Möchte-gern-Junggebliebener mal wieder gänzlich daneben benehmen zu dürfen. Reine Geldmache.

“Experience and success don’t give you easy passage through the middle space of struggle. They only grant you a little grace, a grace that whispers, ‘This is part of the process.

from within Learning to Trust Will Make Us Happy “…We find ourselves torn by confusion, by conflict, by affirmation and denial, by emotion congested by fear, congealed by pride.
