Fruits
of the Spirit
Joy - Share
your Blessings
One way God brings
joy to you is to give you blessings. True joy comes from putting
God first in your life, others second and yourself third. Listening
to others share what God has done for them is another way God
will bring you joy. Think of some of your blessings. Praise God
for His goodness and ask Him how you can share your blessings
with others?
If we are unhappy
or sad, we do not have to remain that way. God gave us His Joy
in the fruits of the Spirit. When we think about good things
and see all the good that God has done, it will bring great joy
into our hearts. God tells us to think about good things remembering
all that He has done for us. We are to give Him praise, glory
and thanks for the works of His hands. Then we need to share
our blessings with others!
Gramma Cherbear picks
beautiful flowers she will put in a vase on the table in her
Den. Cami Cub is having fun rolling around in the field of clover.
It is cool and soft like a pillow. Joshua Jackrabbit is fishing
in the Kid Cave Pond. Fishing helps him to relax and Joshua really
loves to relax! Emmi Squirrel is playing with the butterflies
and smelling the flowers. Spring is her favorite time of the
year. She does not feel shy around the butterflies. Liam Leapfrog
loves to swim. Jumping into the clean water of the pond makes
him very happy. Everyone is having great joy. They love to share
their blessings with each other.
God gives us our blessings.
He wants us to share with others how happy we are for our blessings.
When we remember the good things that God has done, it will remind
us to be thankful. There is great joy in our praise for Him.
If we share our gift of joy with others they will learn to know
goodness of God.
