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
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.

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
Good Morning. Hopefully, you had a great day celebrating Jesus’ resurrection yesterday.

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.

Weekend Wisdom was almost cancelled because I have been ill all week. Last weekend’s time change did not help, but it was not the sole cause of my illness. However, cancelling Weekend Wisdom would defeat the purpose of showing that joy and pain can coexist. Joyful living can be challenging when you are sick or… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
When grief causes your life to feel empty and barren, be like Habakkuk and trust in God even during your suffering or times of confusion. Habakkuk lived in Judah, a morally bankrupt and violent region (hmmm…sound familiar?). His heart was filled with grief. So he took his questions and complaints to God. God assured him… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Every Saturday this month, you will find a quote about joy. Sunday’s posts will be scripture. Smiley Simone will make an appearance in those posts.

“How do we know that God isn’t in Hell, and Satan in Heaven, where he started out? Whose word do we have to go on? Dante? Milton?
