Joni’s Joy: Aftermath

Monday, January 30, 2012

Although in possession of more #2 sharpened pencils than the law should allow, our twelve year old still felt ill-equipped for the SAT taken on Saturday.

In his words, the aftermath of math.... minus the joy:

Favorites

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.
–Jesus Christ (John 15:11-12)

It is pleasing to God whenever thou rejoicest or laughest from the bottom of thy heart.
-Martin Luther

People are naturally happy on some occasions, but the Christian's joy is not dependent on circumstances. It comes from what Christ has done, and it is constant.
-NIV commentary

If we try hard to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it.
-John Templeton
