Finding joy in the everyday

Recently I have been creating my own " finding joy " verses and quotes which I have been sharing on my Facebook page. I have enjoyed making these and many use photos I have taken over the years.  Please feel free to use these on your blog etc as a way of sharing God's wonderful Words — all I ask in return is to provide a link back to my blog.  ******

I once worked with a man who was into the stock market. He invested every cent he had, he took out a loan to increase his shares and every day he monitor his wealth on his vast and complex spreadsheets. He did make lots of money but in the process because obsessed and wore socks with holes in because he didn't want to waste a cent. I felt that by the time he retired he would be a millionaire but not happy and unable to spend any of the money he made because he just wanted to keep making more.  He wasn't a happy man and his marriage had failed. But he had lots of money.  Sad. We can't take our material goods or wealth to heaven and to be honest, the more we have doesn't mean more happiness. In fact it is highly like to take us further away from Christ, more stressed and less happy. Don't let your possessions possess you.   ******

Even though difficulties will be faced by all of us, the Bible provides all the support we need to get through them. These verses are our life-boat so we don't drown. Lean on Him and all things are possible. And take all things to the Lord in pray. ******
