How wonderful it is that we need to search for a strong enabling starter, a peace yielding one with which to begin each day. Here is the primary teaching we received as children from a remarkably unforgettable educator in third grade, back in Africa .  

"Children PLEASE: Each day when you wake up in the morning, say this: My Father who art in heaven, today help me to see that you are with me all the time." Even now in these great harsh times of dangerous heartbreaking events, we try to look daily how to jump-start our faith with joy! The Joy of Jesus that can be effective to cover happenings, even though unwelcome someof them may be. Then move on in the day strengthened by God's acquired "S O S" help. 

 Now is the Fall season leading to winter. It is also our usual focus on the harvest festivals. Plus a full concentration on the twenty-fourth of this month: The occasion of Thanksgiving Day and how to spend it. We positively need great joy during this resplendent and much anticipated yearly celebration. Here is a Blessed Bible quotation for this time of year: For Our God has indeed favored His America with abundance and grace! "For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace; the  mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." Isaiah 55:12...  

MY FRIENDS.. WE DO NEED JOY! A GREAT COMPONENT OF JOY! WE NEED TO BRING GOD'S SPECIAL JOY INTO THIS FESTIVE SEASON! The book of Esther 9:22 reminds us, "that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another and gifts to the poor."

WHAT A BLESSING THIS VERSE CAN BE TO SO MANY ! It is amazing how  every Fall I am reminded of the migrating geese; how one of their unique bright methods is their joy-filled unity among themselves; for knowingly and brilliantly they focus on their trip. Behold they fly in a " V " shaped pattern; upholding one another, they keep their successful project glorious.  Who knows what other than the guidance of God, draws forth from these feathered immigrants, the ability to uplift one another.till their mission has ended for them to reach their new destination?  In their observed unity, they represent the might and power of God.    

With our heart's gratitude for our Lord's great blessings and abundance, to our nation, let His strong promises enrich our spirit to include a daily thanksgiving period during each devotion ! Here is a great Recipe for "The REAL" joy of the lord!

1--Do not isolate yourself from the people God has put around you. We are truly favored when we are a part of many friends,   who cooperate to lift up others in prayer. This creates joy   and clearly shows His presence.

2--Togetherness in Praise and worship is very, very important:   This births the greatest joy for any celebration.

3--Feeding the needy and hungry on this opportunity kindles the sweetest joy..

4-- Consoling the bereaved and lonely in their grief is also a starter for an intent joy.

5--Do not wait for later, let God find you to tell you now   (according to Mathew 25:21,23) "My Child, I love you.   Come into the Joy of Your Master." Meaning... "Come on in, my faithful agent, (instrument, worker, servant) and join in.and SHARE my happiness that I am giving to my children in this world every day."   

When we sow joy in the lives of others, we will reap back tremendous hope for ongoing joy in our own life. DEAR FRIENDS, I PRAY EVERY AMERICAN  HAS A  BLESSED THANKSGIVING DAY FULL OF UNSPEAKABLE JOY...AMEN
