Joy is such a small word!  I'm reminded of "comfort and joy" when I hear it sung in that old Christmas carol.  What a blessing it is to be in the state of "comfort" and experiencing the "joy" of the moment.  When it happens to you are you even aware of it? We take such small things for granted until we are uncomfortable and unhappy with the present situation and then we tend to complain and gripe and make our feelings known to others!  Misery does love company.  Be mindful of the comfort you have, loving relationships, a warm home and bed to sleep in, abundant food on the table, peace and security.  Joy is a state of mind.  Comfort is a condition to experience.  Life will always have its ups and downs.  When you find yourself in comfort and joy be grateful.  Peace to you and may you always have joy! 

Giving is an age old practice that offers the giver an opportunity to prosper beyond their wildest dreams!  We are in that time of year where "giving" is on everyone's mind.  Christmas is an opportunity to be generous!  True gifts of great worth are not material things but rather things that stand the test of time.  We all have people in our lives who love us.  Love is the greatest gift to give and receive.  Don't miss out on love, go out of your way to love, live to love!  Find out what great reward awaits loving and putting love first in your life.  Love is free, it costs nothing to love.  Anyone can give it and everyone wants to receive it!  May your life be filled to the brim with love!
