Joy breaks

We had a going away party last night for one of the massage therapist who is moving. We all really like her and will all greatly miss her. The gift that she gave to us as I see it, is her gift of bringing simple joy to each of our lives. Joy didn't seem to slip by her & she certainly brought it to us! When we would have short breaks in between clients, she told stories alot about her daily life and she always put a funny twist in the story. The more I think about it, she found the JOY in each moment regardless of the situation. She was the kind of person everyone wants to be around & she never met a stranger.

Dear Lord-
Thank you for this dear friend who has come into our lives for a little while. May what she gave each of us help us widen our vision for bringing joy into any situation...especially during breaks! Thank you dear Lord for the blessing of laughter & Joy she brought to our hearts. May it help us to see the ways we can bring this JOY to others.

We are missionaries with The Brook Ministries in Costa Rica. We are here to help strengthen the church body of Jesus Christ & to fulfill His Great commission to the lost. At our conferences, my husband directs the recreational activities & excursions. I provide physical renewal with massage for the female attendees. We believe that regularly scheduled renewal of the body, mind, & spirit for ministry leaders in particular, will empower them to serve the Lord with renewed strength & perseverance to do what God has uniquely called them to do....SERVE & BUILD HIS CHURCH to the outermost parts of the world!
