Saturday Joy
Sometimes joy and sadness comes together. Today is the annual Mitchell’s Run Through Rockford (https://mitchellsrun.org/). It supports research into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This disease is devastating. Each year, my family, as many as can, head to Rockford to participate in the 5K. Some of us run; some walk; some roll along in mobility scooters. Why?…

What brought you joy this week? My week was crazy busy as work prepared for the school year. Yet, when I look back, all I see is joy. God gave help and strength through each trial. It brings great peace and joy when we trust God through each day’s challenges. He is an amazing God!…

Sunshine, strawberries, and strength brought me joy this week. Yesterday was the first trek to the orchard to purchase fresh, in-season produce. It was a beautiful sunny day for our drive. It was my first longer drive since surgery. A dear life-long friend and I go together as often as we can throughout the growing…

Joy. Contentment. I have been thinking of these things lately. How do we have joy and contentment in loneliness? Our life can be lonely. Even people who are intentional in friendship in every possible way are not always available. Loneliness can creep in. We may long to share thoughts or struggles, but the path is…
