Living Life with Joy

I look forward to...

...each new day because they are so fresh and bright.
...being in Heaven and praising the Lord face to face.
...coming to work because my job is interesting.
...going home because I love my doggies so much.

Special Memories

...watching Love Story at the Lake Air Cinema with my best friend, and both of us crying so hard we could barely see to walk out of the theatre.
...the moment I realized that my husband loved me more than I'd ever been loved before.
...telling my mother that I loved her before we hung up the phone.
...my brother's laughter when I shared my most embarassing moment with him.
...making the decision NOT to jump out of the plane, even with a parachute on.
...the way my little doggie Emmett was stingy with my attention.
...meeting Emmitt Smith and telling him that I named my son after him.
...laughing with my cousin because we identify with each other's calamities.

Things that just aren't so....

...if you step on a crack, you'll break your mother's back
...sticks and stones will break my bones but WORDS WILL NEVER HURT ME

What would you like to come back as?

I'd like to come back as a butterfly because:

Butterflies are always admired for their fragile beauty.
No one ever swats a butterfly.
A butterfly's life is short enough that before I knew it, I'd be asking myself "What would you like to come back as?"

I definately don't want to come back as:

a man. Oh, don't get me wrong, I love 'em...but I'm smart enough to know that girls have an advantage.
a cat. I don't trust them. I'd hate to think that I didn't trust ANY of my friends.
anything that is eaten by humans. Especially lobsters, they boil them alive AAAAHHHH!!

Joy is my favorite word.

Joy is my favorite word because it is what I get from having a personal relationship with God. When I'm filled with the Holy Spirit, all is right with the world. I believe what Jesus said: John 14:15-21, because I experience it.
