Joy of the Lord..... whole life

We might have had many problems, but after the touch of Jesus, The Joy of the Lord is my strength >>> the whole life.   

When I grow up in Dalsland I saw 2 types of old people:

Some where old                   and grumpy/complaining

Some where old                    and thankful/overflowing with joy

As a Teenager I saw that only Jesus could give them that real joy and satifaction. So I decided: I want that. It is a big difference between Happy and Joy. We need both:

Happy – feeling good                                               from the circumstances

Joy  - spiritual strength                                   from within.

I have been blessed by many I have met and ..... somehow many I have never meet. Now its my turn to bles and inpire others.

The biggest challange here in Isaan is that many are growing up without their fathers.
