Scattering Sunlight

You may wonder why I’ve changed the name of these posts. For a time I’ve been thinking about the difference between happiness and joy. Happiness is a fleeting feeling changed by circumstances; joy is continuous satisfaction coming from a heart grateful to God. I will share here the moments that I praise God for and verses I’m loving. Through the tragic, recent events; I have realized how grateful I am for Christ and the peace and comfort He gives.

“But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ ‭
