What came to mind as soon as I saw Iris' theme for this week was the song "There is Joy in Serving Jesus!" Sometimes I find myself smiling and humming that tune and the starting to sing it, in alot of different situations. Do you know the song? I posted about it here.
I agree with Iris that Joy comes from the inside, because there are times where you just shouldn't have joy, but it is there still.
Psalms 28:7
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
My heart leaps for joy
and I will give thanks to him in song.
It's late so I need to get to my thankful list! I so wish that I had more time to visit you all tonight, but I am tired and need to sleep! Hopefully tomorrow will bring the time that I can visit your sites as well.
Thankful for these:
- The moon has been so gorgeous the last few nights! Don't you love how when the seasons change, the moon and sun does too! It is truly an "Autumn Moon" out there!
- I'm thankful for a handy husband! Our dishwasher quit working the other day, and I had to wash dishes pioneer style! I'm sorry but I don't do good that way. By the time I got home today it was fixed!!!! YEAH!!!
- I'm thankful for what God has shown me this week in His word! Especially Isaiah 46!
- I love the surprises in scripture! Did you know there is a ghost in scripture - yes- go see I Samuel 28! Exciting story! Bad news for Saul, but boy good lessons too!
- I'm thankful that Steve and I got to go away together last weekend! Looking forward to this weekend with the whole family!
- Have a blessed week! Go check out the other thankful hearts at Sting my heart!

That's a good list Kim. I love the surprises in scripture. I've been reading the Old Testament and have enjoyed reading again some of the stories we don't hear too often.
The "Autumn Moon" took my breath away last night. It was incredibly beautiful!
Such sweet blessings my friend.
Hi Kim! Oh I love the Harvest Moon, too! The other night I woke up because the moom was shining through the window so bright I thought we over slept! It was 3 a.m..
Wonderful words of thanks, my friend.
Have a blessed weekend.
Hey Kim! Loved your thankful list today. I have noticed the moon this week also. Beautiful...I have read the story in 1 Samuel 28. It has been a long time so I flipped open my Bible and re-read it. Thanks for reminding me where that scripture is!! Have a good day girlfriend!
Hey Kim. I just wanted to stop by to thank you for your encouragement recently and also to thank you for posting my button on your sidebar.
TODAY begins the 40 journey of LOVE. Thanks for being a part and for spreading the word.
Love ya girl.
I love Thankful Thursday because it reminds us to focus on HIS blessings and not the needs and wants...
You're heart is so sweet...
You are a dear person
thank you for your friendship
Yes, I know Oswald Smith's gospel song, "Joy in Serving Jesus." Your blog caught my eye because today is the 137th anniversary of the birth of Bentley Ackley, who wrote the tune you hum (and collaborated with Dr. Smith on other songs). Have a joyful Lord's Day!
