‘Don’t give up” is kinda like not backing down.
“I Won’t Back Down” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, live in Gainesville, 2006. https://youtu.be/JMzW42zZVN0
Good evening everyone

Bible in a Year :
Tears of joy will stream down their faces, and I will lead them home with great care.
Leaving home one morning, Dean found some friends waiting with balloons. His friend Josh stepped forward. “We entered your poems in a competition,” he said, before handing Dean an envelope. Inside was a card that read “First Prize,” and soon everyone was crying tears of joy. Dean’s friends had done a beautiful thing, confirming his writing talent.
Weeping for joy is a paradoxical experience. Tears are normally a response to pain, not joy; and joy is normally expressed with laughter, not tears. Italian psychologists have noted that tears of joy come at times of deep personal meaning—like when we feel deeply loved or achieve a major goal. This led them to conclude that tears of joy are pointers to the meaning of our lives.
I imagine tears of joy erupting everywhere Jesus went. How could the parents of the man born blind not weep for joy when Jesus healed him (John 9:1-9), or Mary and Martha after He raised their brother from death (11:38-44)? When God’s people are brought into a restored world, “Tears of joy will stream down their faces,” God says, “and I will lead them home with great care” (Jeremiah 31:9 nlt).
If tears of joy show us the meaning of our lives, imagine that great day to come. As tears stream down our faces, we’ll know without doubt that the meaning of life has always been to live intimately with Him.
Reflect & Pray
When was the last time you wept for joy? What do you think the meaning of life is?
Father God, thank You for the joy ahead for those who love You.
Morning Kathy! Last night my router up and died with no warning. But lately there has been lots going on with my life. Part of our family moved to North Carolina so we spent some time down there and started looking for property with acreage. In a few years we will all be there. NY has become unlivable.
Life changes with us and my health has not been good. Doctors appointments have become a part time job. Appt tomorrow, CT Scan the 14th then doctor again the 16th.
Please Pray for good test results. This is something I have been fighting for few years and just got worse when I collapsed and had my hospital stay.
Stay positive and bring everything to the Lord in Prayer.
