“And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord.” ~ Psalm 27:6 (ESV ~ emphasis mine)
Ever feel like skipping, jumping, smiling, dancing – all at the same time? Oh, what a sweet ‘feeling’ joy is. I wanted to share first the definition of the word ‘joy’ from Webster with you, but I don’t agree with their definition.
You see, I think (my personal opinion), joy comes from the inside and not from outside circumstances…So, this week I would like to share with you my joy…
- Thank You, Lord for the joy You have put in my heart. Knowing that You have sent your son to redeem me, to spent eternity with You, makes my heart beat faster — skip for joy…
- I am thankful for my beloved and the joy in our marriage. Especially after I read this interview he gave here. You have to understand, my beloved is a manly man – not a lot of ‘mooch’ – know what I mean. I know he loves me (he tells me every day), but to see how he talks about me outside our own walls, gives me joy…
- I am thankful that the Lord allowed me to raise a son. He is doing well for himself. He truly is our pride and joy…
- I am thankful for Christian women on the internet. I love reading how they find joy in following the Lord…
- I am thankful for the joy in children. I watched a little girl the other day as she was dancing on the sidewalk. The joy on her face was hard to miss…
- I am thankful for cameras. It gives me joy to ‘record’ the glorious splendor around me…
- Last but not least, I am thankful for Fall. My favorite season. With joy, I am looking forward celebrating the birth of our Savior…

“Let Israel be glad in his Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King! Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre! For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.” ~ Psalm 149:2-4 (ESV -emphasis mine)
Do you like dancing? I do! Especially when it comes to praising my Lord. Sunday morning was beautiful at the Sunrise service. Although it was cold, I could not help but dance before my Lord. My heart was filled with joy knowing that He saved me from myself. Here is my grateful heart for this week – oh Lord…
- Lord – I am thankful that You gave up the throne for a little while; to take the punishment for me. Thank You for saving me. I am looking forward to the day when I can dance all day long before You – praise You name forever and ever in Your presence…
- Lord – thank You for enabling us to leave town overnight last week to spend some time away from the daily hustle and bustle. The get-away refreshed my heart and made my feet lighter..
- Lord – thank You for spending time with me every morning in my little ’sanctuary’. Although I would rather dance than drive, but that would be too dangerous. So I sing to You instead. I love how You give me strength and focus every day for work…
- Lord – thank You for my beloved. I am so glad that You have placed him in my life. My beloved makes me laugh and dance inside. I am always excited when I get home…
- Lord – thank You for the incredible community of Christian women bloggers that meet here every Thursday to praise Your name. No matter if we are in the valley or on the mountain top. You help us realize that we are a blessed bunch…
- And Lord – thank You for sending an additional writer for the devotional team blog. I praise You that You have given Tiffany peace to join us. It made me dance the ‘giggy’ last night…
My precious Thankful Thursday ‘bunch’ – what are you thankful for today? You might be going through the valley, but know that He is there with you. So, please share with us what you are thankful for this week. Even if it is just the smallest blessing…If you have written your thankful post, please link below. Make sure the link is valid, because I don’t check the links usually until I transfer them to be permanent on Saturday morning.
Thanks for stopping by today – and remember: there is always a reason to dance before the Lord – He is worthy of our praise, because of His love for us…
