CREATE JOY Joy's my blog.....

  A well balanced day. Thanksgiving is almost here.  For many it is their favorite holiday, to cook, eat, watch TV, and sleep............🦃🦃👀😴   I want to give you a new challenge.   This year, be present.  Love those people who are with you right now, this second.  Talk, maybe let them help you make the food, working together builds relationships......  Eyes and ears open.  Slow down.   At this particular moment in time God has set before you some very special people you can influence, with your love and guidance, and ATTENTION.   Make some new traditions.  Ask which special dish each child (or adult lol) loves, and make it!   MOST importantly, put God at the center of all of your holidays. Talk about what you are Thankful to God for........ Happy Thanksgiving, ~love Jackie

  Listen, this world is a tough place. I don't believe there is anyone on planet earth, who doesn't "feel" how tough things are in this world. In many ways. That doesn't mean we get to sit down and stop trying.....as my sister likes to remind me, our reach and affect go much farther than we know. Everything we do matters. 1 Corinthians 16:13, 14 "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.  Let all your things be done with charity." The battle is now.  Soon our King will come and take us on to His heavenly kingdom, but not yet....... YOU are not to old, or to young, or to busy, or to tired....... YOU are the very one God has chosen to love the people He puts before you. Chin up, Get up, get your love on....😉 ~love Jackie
