My recent post, “Farting Rainbows<\/a>” seemed to resonate with a lot of people. Many referrals. I am thankful for that. For one, it makes me feel a lot less alone. And two, that God would use my story to help others deal and heal. That is humbling. God doesn’t NEED me, but I am thankful He CHOOSES me. May I never take credit for the things He’s doing.<\/p>\n

I stole the idea<\/a> for today’s post. But it is so fitting for where I am right now. In midst of the dark and icky and confusing, I must remember the good. I must remember the things that bring joy to my life… instead of only wallowing in the things that are hard.<\/p>\n

So, here’s small list of things that bring joy to my life.<\/p>\n

* Leaves changing color.
\n* My nephews’<\/a> imaginations and laughter.
\n* God-breathed, divine appointments with people who get it.
\n* Real, honest to goodness mail. Remember stamps?
\n* Fall programming. My favorite shows are back!
\n* Redbox. $1 movies. Honestly, how great is that?
\n* Praying for my friends, my friends praying for me.
\n* Seeing God restore marriages: here<\/a>… here<\/a>… and here<\/a>.
\n* My friend<\/a> giving a voice to the voiceless<\/a>.
\n* A restful night’s sleep.
\n* Daydreaming.
\n* My mom.<\/p>\n

what are some things that bring you joy?<\/h3>\n

But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. Psalm 5:11<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
