Do you ever wonder where your joy has gone? Sometimes when we get stuck in the mundane, every day trials of life, it is easy to lose focus of our true purpose: to glorify Almighty God. Does our ungrateful and unjoyful attitude really glorify God? Take a look at some practical advice from Barbara Johnson: "Trial and triumph are what God uses to scribble all over the pages of our lives. They are signs that he is using us, loving us, shaping us to his image, enjoying our companionship, delivering us from evil, and writing eternity into our hearts. Be happy through everything because today is the only thing you can be sure of. Right here, right now, cherish the moment you hold in your hands." Excerpted from Joy for a Woman's Soul, Zondervan Gifts:Grand Rapids,(1998). This book is a compilation of excerpts from inspirational women such as Gloria Gather, Barbara Johnson, Sheila Walsh, Kathy Troccoli, Luci Swindoll, and others.

I have, on occasion, been inspired to write, as many are, but as usually happens, I tuck it away and hope for a chance to share it with someone someday. I live alone.(most of the time). My husband works away from home and is gone for months at a time. I attend church and have several friends; however few have the time for sharing these seemingly trivial little "thoughts" that are so precious to me . I feel at times that maybe the Lord gave them just to me and then I know that's not true. It's for the glory of His Son, our Lord Jesus. We should not allow ourselves to think anything God gives to us is not important or worthy of sharing with others. When the "curtains of our lives" are opened, He will be the main focus, however. He will be sharing His glory and His audience with us, as we stand before The Father and hear Him say "Well done My good and faithful servant." So you see, even as I write this, the message is inspiring me to think not of the "frightening situation" (standing before an audience) when I try to share my poem or message, but think of the Lord with me as the main attraction and myself as using the opportunity as a means of glorifying Him. What a privilege to share the stage with Him!!! Thank you for your ministry to me . Pray for me to be willing to take a step out of my 'comfort zone' and look for opportunities to bless the Lord. He certainly blesses me super-abundantly. God bless you. Keep up your womens ministry. We need so much to be encouraged to seek a way to serve Him and reach out to each other. Yours in Christ, Fran Thanks Fran, for reminding us that we all have something to contribute.
