Me:\u00a0 It looks like you with a lot of happy people!<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Its been a good day\u00a0even though the week was very stressful and filled with hurt.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Well, it is good to rejoice when there is time to rejoice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr. Larry Crabb shares in his book Men & Women Enjoying the Difference<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The difference between godly and ungodly people is not that one group never hurts and the other group does, or that one reports more happiness than the other.\u00a0 The difference lies in what people do with their hurt.\u00a0 Either they do what comes naturally:\u00a0 use their hurt to justify self-centered efforts to relieve it, caring less about how they affect others and more about whether they are comfortable; or they do what comes unnaturally; use their hurt to better understand and encourage others while they cling desperately to the Lord for promised deliverance, passionately determined to do His will.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

None of us like to feel pain and feel the hurt from others we have tried to reach out too.\u00a0 In fact some of us refuse to make emotional connections.\u00a0 We think that will help keep us from hurt.\u00a0 That really keeps us from living though.\u00a0 It is the little things in life that bring us joy that comes from connections.<\/p>\n

When you know that person is waiting for you.\u00a0 It makes a difference to their day that they were able to share a quick smile.\u00a0 A small sharing of your worlds.\u00a0 A small gesture that says I am glad you are in my life.\u00a0 An idea that you would be missed if you did not show up.\u00a0 The idea that others\u00a0may enter in to their life that day but you are one of the\u00a0joys of that day.\u00a0 Yes, there may be a day of\u00a0pain because a misunderstanding happened the day before.\u00a0 This can never erase the joy experienced\u00a0from the many days\u00a0before.\u00a0 So remember the days of joy and forgive the pain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ephesians 6:24<\/p>\n

Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen<\/p>\n
