What is the key to joy in life? It took me nearly forty years to figure this out. I am not talking short lived joy, but long lasting joy. Even through the worst of times, you can smile through the tears. The key I have found is to be grateful for what you do have, especially the little things, the free things… The more you are thankful to God for the good in your life, the more good you will find in your life & joy is the product. What you magnify in your life ~ good or bad, will become your life.

…and do not be worried, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and your stronghold. Nehemiah 8:10
