Joy - Contagious JOY!!

I did a Bible Study by Patsy Clairmont called Contagious Joy. I want to share my trinkets to remind us of the lessons they hold for us. So the next time you see these items... you may remember these lessons


1 Glasses
These serve as a reminder that you need never be trapped in a joyless life. Joy is yours. Sometimes all you have to do is ask the Lord to help you see it.

2. A Makeup Brush
God offers to trade all our ashes for beauty. This transformation is better than any beauty treatment. Joy works its miracles on our lives from the inside out, and the results are lovely to behold!

3. A Star
Jesus is indeed our greatest reason for rejoicing. Hs birth was heralded by good tidings of great joy. Our trinket for the week is a star; like the Bethlehem star that first bore witness to the most joyful tidings ever heard.

4. An Eraser
When it comes to joy, the Lord should be our focus. He’s our source of joy. Our trinket reminds us of how everything else fades away in His presence.

5. A Stone
We are told that if we won’t give praise to the Lord, then the rocks will take over and do it for us! Our trinket this week is a stone. Let it remind you to lift up your voice in joyful song!

6. A Drum
Shouts of joy are like the thrumming of a marching band heard in the distance. A drum will be your instrument of praise as you join with other believers in joyful praise.

7. A Raindrop
Joy can be a constant in our lives, no matter what circumstances and emotions might be at work. Just as a sun shower sets raindrops to sparkling, the storms in our lives can be brightened by joy’s presence.

8. A Wiffle Ball.
Everything that comes our way has a purpose. We’re to count it all joy, even when life throws us a curve, so our trinket this week will be a waffle ball. It can remind you of batting practice, when everything that is pitched our way becomes a chance to learn and grow and strengthen our game.

9. A Bolster Pillow
Aw we’re finding ways to rejoice with one another this week, plunk up your pillow and plunk it down. It’ll remind you that we’re all part of a community that God put together to bolster one another’s faith and to rejoice together in Him.

10. A Balloon
Joy makes everything it’s paired with better! Though joy may not seem a great source of strength, its lifting effect makes us stronger. Just as balloons transform anything ordinary into a celebration, joy lifts our hearts and transforms our lives.

11. A Birthday Candle
Joy lends its radiance to the life of each believer. Joy will make you shine forth like the sun itself when the Lord is with you.

12. A Welcome Mat
Our joy will be complete when we see our Lord face-to-face. He’s preparing a place for us even now. When we are welcomed into the presence of the Lord one day, we’ll know joy in its fullest, most complete sense.

Choose JOY!
... Enjoy
