My Joy List

Howdy, I just got back from church it was fun. I talked about Tongue Control :D It was awesome and relevant, and more importantly the kids loved it. It was based off of James 1:19; 3.

Anyways...a while ago (Thanksgiving 06) my husband's side of the family went to Colorado to go skiing. (Although a majority of my time was spent sitting in the hot tube or by the fire.) During that time we all made something called "The Joy List." It is a concept Josh's Dad created where you make a list of anything and everything that you can think of that brings you JOY. Then you give it to all the people in your life that you love and spend time with. That way they can do things that bring you joy! Anyways it sounds so simple, but it really helps people connect and do things that make someone else's day! So let me hear your Joy List and then post it on your blog and tag some people to share their Joy List!! Lets spread some Joy and be in each others Balcony!!
