Catch my Joy!

Beth Moore says some things are taught but sisters some things are caught. She also says that contagious Joy is the most important thing you can ever have. I agree. Deuteronomy16:15 reads "The Lord your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the works of your hands, so that you will be altogether joyful". Another translation says "complete joy". My husband and I used to have a small church called "Joy Community" based on this principle. Living in "Joy" because of the gifts of our Lord and savior Jesus. From the joy we find in that most beautiful gift that we would then give to others and help them to find their joy in our example. I think the message gets most caught up in joy being a feeling. Something that can come and go. Living in joy as God talks about here is more of a verb. Living each day, doing each chore, talking to eachother in a way that shows the love of Christ to others because we can't not share it or live differently. We are changed, we have to let others know. We have caught something that causes us to live in a state of complete joy. I pray today that we can remember the gifts of love and sacrifice that are free for us all and that we live today complete in the joy that it brings. Catch the joy!
