"I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy...Down in my heart..." Who remembers these lyrics to the childhood song? We teach our kids about joy, but do we experience it ourselves? Here's 3 biblical benefits to cultivating joy:... 1. Spending time with God gives us joy! "In your presence is fullness of joy." Psalm 16:11 2. It strengthens you! "The joy of the Lord is my strength." Nehemiah 8:10 3. It's good for your health! "A joyful heart is good medicine." Proverbs 17:22

Hey Parents! We know that part of hiding God’s Word in our hearts (Psalm 119:11) involves reading the Bible. But we also know that the Bible is a very big book to read and sometimes it can be overwhelming for an adult let alone a child. Here’s some helpful resources from Pastor Mandi to help your child hide God’s Word in their hearts! https://gtsudbury.ca/2020//22/hide-gods-word-in-your-heart/

God's school of education is free but we have to put in the work! Our job is to read His Word. And His job is to teach us through it and remind us when we need it! Allow the Holy Spirit's gentle guiding to reveal truth into your heart today!

We may not always see His footprints, but here's a promise to start your day. We don't walk alone. Invite Him to walk with you, and watch as He helps guide your steps. The Lord says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you." Psalm 32:8
