Interesting, but as you say, who came up with it?. hmm is there a card I can buy for that? I would guess it has to do with the lack of sunshine, or the amount of bills pilling up from the holidays. It reminds me of a song, Turn your eyes upon Jesus. In these tough days, that is all one can do or every day would be sad/Deborah Kay at The Paint Splashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035564035110268551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890586761852703073.post-63215986706551444582011-01-09T17:21:18.111-08:002011-01-09T17:21:18.111-08:00Great post, Renee.

Turn that around to summer (ours are long and hot) and I find myself becoming discouraged due to the heat. 100+ degree weather isn't pleasant for being outside. <br /><br />However, our joy doesn't come due to the heat, the cold, or the snow. Our joy comes from knowing Jesus and we can praise and worship Him anytime, any place, any season.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />JoanJoan Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430939897829160498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890586761852703073.post-63741475377156985762011-01-09T11:37:50.735-08:002011-01-09T11:37:50.735-08:00I enjoyed your post.

I...I'm in total agreement with this post. :-)<br /><br />I've been reading "If God is Good" and "The Discipline of Grace" and am trying to grow deeper in my understanding how incredibly miracoulous and amazing God's love for me is. <br /><br />Grace is unmerited favor because I deserved His wrath. <br /><br />That makes me cry because He loved me so much that he would give his best (His son) to make sure that His love is now between me and His wrath. <br /><br />The fact that I know that I know that God loves me should be enough for me to wake up every day, smiling. <br /><br />I'm working on grasping that concept on a deeper level so I don't have to have "saddest" days but instead can have "joyest" days.dominiquehttp://www.4wallsandaview.comnoreply@blogger.com
