Hello everyone, praying that you are all doing well, and smiling. Now, praise the Lord for His many blessings. Joy is the theme that Iris chose this week. Woo Hoo, everybody sing! I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart,(where?) down in my heart, (where?) down in my heart, and if the devil doesn't like it he can sit on a tack, sit on a tack, sit on a tack, and don't come back!! I love You Lord, and I thank You for my joy. Why do I have joy? Because I am blessed with a husband who brings constant joy to my life daily. I have joy because no matter how sick my diabetes makes me feel, the Lord is always here to lift my head, and put a smile on my face. I have joy because my husband has a job in these insecure, turbulent times. He has been cut down to only working 4 days a week, but I rejoice in knowing that he has a job, thank You Lord. Why do I have joy? Because I have been blessed with beautiful blogging friends, I love you all. Why do I have joy? Because He lives, and I can truly face tomorrow. I love You Lord. Praying joy over all of you.

Good morning Denise,
I went to bed singing "I got joy down in my heart". I am walking around the house with the same tune in my head. Thanks to you, It's going to be a wonderful day, my friend. I hope you have a blessed and pain-free Thursday.
Lots of love,

Blessings to you this beautiful TT, my sweet friend!
Your joy is contiguous, Denise. If someone just drops in here, I am sure they are living with a huge smile on their face -- like me this morning.
Sorry to hear that your beloved's hours were cut down. But then again, he has a job and an extra day with you.
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful and joyous heart with us.

Praising God for His provision during these uncertain times.
Praising Him for the joy that fills our hearts!
Praising God for being the lifter of our spirits and our feeble knees as we trust in Him for everything!
In His amazing grace,

Now I can't get the words to the song "Joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart..." out of my head. But that's a good thing!
Thanks for reminding me of that song! I always enjoyed as a kid singing the part about the devil can sit on a tack! Actually, I still like it!
Thanks for coming by my site! I appreciate it.
Just reading your post today brought joy to this rainy part of the country.
Thanks for your faithfulness, friend.
Oooh.. I love the song the "joy, joy, joy down in my heart!"
Happy Thankful Thursday, Denise!
Denise ~ I absolutely love your enthusiasm and joy for life. Thank you for your post and thank you for the time you take to read and comment on my posts. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your sweet notes and they always, always bring a smile to my face. Have a blessed day!!
I'm singing and doing the Happy Dance with you! You brought my spirits up my friend. Thank you.
Goodness, I am all the way at the bottom of the page. Your site has been busy with traffic today. Now that is the kind of traffic that we all love. ;
When I saw the title of you post my mind went where yours did before I even got here. I started singing the childhood song....about the tack. Ha! great minds think alike. How funny!
No matter what this world tries to throw at us we know the truth!
We've got a home in glory land that out shines the sun....and some day soon we shall all fly away!
See if you can remember what songs that last sentence was pulled from.
Love ya girl....still praying. ;)
Hi Denise! That is such a fun song!
The end of your post reminded me of the song Because He Lives. We sang that Sunday and it blessed my heart. Thanks for that reminder here today as well!
You always lift up your husband... that is a precious thing. Blessings
JOY!! What a great word for today or any day for that matter.
Hopefully you are doing well today..
Denise---I LOVED the reminder of that old song! I remember teaching it to our girls!
You are such a blessing friend...have I told you today that I just LOVE you??
and I've got peace, love and happiness too! Boy, I sure do miss Vacation Bible School.
Indeed you have the joy! Have a blessed weekend!
I love the new artwork at the top! That is trully awesome, Denise. Beautiful, joyful post as always. My husband lost his job but was lucky enough to have found another one right away which was a blessing.
Wow I love it. I don't think I have ever been sung to thru a blog before. ha ha. I appreciate your grateful heart and your posts are always uplifting. -Blessings.
Thank you for your encouraging comment today and for sharing your Thankful Thursday. They put some extra sunshine on my day :)
