“The joy of the Lord is my strength.”  Nehemiah 8:10

One of my personal goals for this year is to find more joy in every day. I had five particularly joyous moments last week. Here they are:

1.   Sitting at Waldo’s with a cold beverage, Lisa, and good friends while watching the full moon rise over the ocean and light the water up like a sparkling diamond.

2.   Being greeted with big smiles and hugs from the two kids I mentor at Beachland Elementary.

3.   Having the privilege of sharing communion with Corabell DeWitt, a long -time fiend of the church who is 104 years old and Nora Smith, who helped start our Endowment Fund.

4.   After an 11 hour work day, joining four friends for a dinner birthday party where we laughed our heads off and I stayed out way past my usual bedtime!

5.   Cooking a delicious dinner for my family of a tomato caprice appetizer, parmesan encrusted tripletail fish, sautéed zucchini and yellow squash with chocolate cake for dessert.

I pray that each of you find more joy each day this year as well!
