Why I “Count it all Joy” Wednesday



Welcome to Why I Count It All Joy Wednesday!!
To join in on all the JOY, grab my button for your post, make your own JOY list, 
and link up below this post so others will be able to find your blog!  
Don’t forget to post a link on your blog back to me!

I am filled with JOY because the Creator of the Universe knows my name and loves me flaws and all!!
I am filled with JOY because even though Dan’s trip to China is 9 days LONG, it is the shortest trip he has made in the last 2 years and he will be home Monday!!
I am filled with JOY because some smart person invented Skype which allows me to  not only talk to Dan when he is in China, but I get to see him too!!
I am filled with JOY because I have some wonderful boys who step up to the plate when their daddy leaves to take great care of me!!
I am filled with JOY because I am getting my hair done today!!
I am filled with JOY because we leave for vacation to the sandy beaches of California in two weeks!!  YIPPEE!!
I am filled with JOY because even though Adam and Isaac need allergy shots and the insurance company is calling all of their allergies pre-existing and refusing to pay for anything, God has a plan that is way better than any insurance company and their needs will be met!!
I am filled with JOY because we read together, laugh together, act silly together, love Jesus together, and when Dad is gone camp out in the living room together!!
I am filled with JOY because when I was a little girl, I had a Sunday School teacher who taught me the song - I’ve Got The JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY Down In My Heart.  I have been singing it for 40 years and nothing can take it away!!
I am filled with JOY because together we are spreading the JOY and others are catching on!!  Remember it is CONTAGIOUS!!
(Romans 15:13)  May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 
What are you JOYful about today???
Counting it all Joy!!

Oh my goodnes, Angel, I love this post! I know mine should have been longer, but I had to get to a Dr. appt., but wanted to do my joyful post first! Thank you so much for spreading your joy! At the Dr.'s office, I read a wonderful article, entitled Laugh Medicine.
I am praying for Dan and your family while he is in China!

I had a sunday school teacher that taught me that I am FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. I remember that verse to this day because of her lesson and it made such an impact on my life.
So glad your boys are taking such good care of you. So sweet.
hugs,
Mimi
