But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma
of the knowledge of Him in every place. For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; 2 Corinthians 2:14-15 (NASB)

Christmas Joy

I follow a particular blog entitled, "Windows to My Soul." I clicked on it this morning and was blessed by Vicki's most recent entry to her blog, "Yes, Virginia, There Is A Scrooge, But." Click here to read it.

The world's joy is temporal but the joy that Jesus gives is eternal. A familiar way to spell joy is Jesus-Others-You. When in balance that is true JOY!

In the 4th verse of the traditional German Carol, "How Great Our Joy," we find find these words.

This gift of God we'll cherish well,
That ever joy our hearts shall fill.

How great our joy! Great our joy!
Joy, joy, joy!  Joy, joy, joy! 
Praise we the Lord in heav'n on high!
Praise we the Lord in heav'n on high!

Now dear ones, that is a lot of joy. Oftentimes, the joy comes once we head in the direction toward the source of true joy, "King Jesus." 

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God. Luke 2:20
