When we remember that this life is a journey and not our ultimate destination, we are able to keep our perspective on heavenly things! We realize that our true Joy, Peace and Happiness are dependent not on things of the world but our fulfillment of a life lived in Union With God! We are able to "Rejoice in the Lord " as He Alone Satisfies and Sustains us! Relationship with God, the Source of ALL that is good in this life IS the reason for the Presence of Joy Within us! The more that we focus on the Lord, spend time with Him in solitude of prayer, the more we live the commandment of Love and Service, the more of the Joy of the Lord will remain and deepen within us! May the Hope of Heaven, Strengthen and Encourage us as we Walk this path of life -hand in hand WITH our Lord! Love and prayers! ✝️
