The Meaning Behind " Three Joyful Hearts"

I chose this name for my blog because it is the essence of what makes my foundation secure. To be joyful, I always thought that a person had to be happy go lucky all the time. Until 5 years ago I would not have considered myself to be a very joyful person until I finally realized what it meant. Joy was something that I already had all along even if I didn't feel very joyful. It's more than just a feeling or emotion. It's the ability to find joy during the hard times as well as the good even if the bad doesn't make any sense. Since we found out a couple of months ago that we can't build our new home our world came crashing down. The dream of a new home with a big back yard for Fiana to play in made me feel very happy. Honestly I am not happy that we have to stay in our townhome, however, I am still joyful inside depsite the circumstance even if I don't look happy or act happy. The pleasure of having a new home does not compare to the other blessings the Lord has given me - my husband and my daughter. Even during the bad times and even when I can't break a smile I still find joy. So be encouraged that even during uncertain times it is possible to have a joyful heart.
