/The Healing Power of Joy
Your sorrow shall be turned into joy. John 16:20
//
Distress of soul and grief of heart can only bring on destruction of body. Joy alone is a healer, and you can have it in the darkest hour if you will force your soul to rise to Me in worship and adoration.
Bring Me your sorrow, and watch for the sunrise of the resurrection. Wait for it as tulip bulbs anticipate the spring. When the blossoms break through, we do not then turn back to thoughts of winter, but instead, we look ahead to the full joys of the coming summer.

We have seen enough of winter, and we anticipate the joy of seeing things grow in spring and summer. For some winter is a very difficult time, the lack of sunshine, etc. But the joy we feel for being able to experience new life in spring. Also the value of a good laugh. Recently someone sent a funny e-mail, and I am not a person to laugh, but I laughed at that one, it was good. and that laughter just lifts your heaviness. We don't want to allow the heaviness of life to destroy us physically, try laughter.
Yesterday, there was a music contest so a lot of students were gone, and one teacher took a personal day, so I covered for her, it was a good day. After school, Jesse went home with me, and we went to see Frank and Dorothy for a few minutes, Dad had made prints of several slides that were sent to Frank and we looked at them. Now I am just getting ready for everyone to come. See you soon.
