What brings you joy?

The smile and giggle of a child, the bright sunshine, a warm breeze,  a
relaxing night at the ball field, a dinner with family and friends, the birth
of a child, time at the cabin, a wedding–all of these events can bring joy
into our lives.

Our Lord brings us joy in many ways. In our spiritual journey in Christ, a great source of joy comes with believing how much our God loves us. 

Have you paused recently to celebrate what our God has given to us in
Jesus Christ? 

There can be a deep joy knowing that our Lord has created us.  If you
have a chance to read Psalm 139, you will be reminded how God’s joy in creating
us.

May you discover deep joy in your spiritual journey- a joy that will spread to all those around you.  Your family, friends, and co-workers will all
be impacted by the joy you live out.

Joy for the Journey,

Pastor Durk Peterson, Alleluia Lutheran Church, St. Michael
