JOY Journal

February 15, 2011 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: 1000 Gifts, JOY Journal, Meditation

I have been graced to be stripped.  I was drawn close to Him.  I was given the grace to see each day as my last.  To find true JOY in all things around and within. 
I have been slowly learning how to share this internal JOY with others, especially my family.  I fail daily but find His grace is sufficient to move forward and try again.
My gifts are not for me alone.  I desire to share with all.  My most recent motivation was found here and here. 
This gratitude journal is not for me alone.  It is for my children, my husband, and for all who desire to find Our Lord, Jesus Christ.
This is my gift of love to you, from Him above.
"To me Jesus is the Life I want to live, the Light I want to reflect, the Way to the Father, the Love I want to express, the JOY I want to share, the Peace I want to sow around me.  Jesus is my everything."  ~Bl. Mother Teresa of  Calcutta
