Poem
there is much joy to be had during the Christmas season as people celebrate the holidays of which many find so pleasing even thought the days are now dark with this global economic strife we still have joy for the birthday of our savior Jesus the Christ so how do we take this joy and apportion it from day to day? could it be by rejoicing in Christ as we journey on our way? there is joy to be found when one honors and worships Christ there is a joy to be maintained as we traverse this perilous life but for the grace of God that Jesus sent when He died on the cross as His resurrection was the salvation to amend our tragic loss the joy is in the journey as you travel your life's road the joy is in the doing it's not in accomplished goals and in spite of your circumstances, your trials and your tribulations there is joy in just being in Christ as everyday is a cause for celebration you won't always be happy, euphoric nor full of cheer but great joy is found in the knowledge that Jesus is still here so don't fall prey to drugs and drink to make you feel glad and don't think that happiness will take away all the sad as drugs and drink are temporary and happiness is a transient outward sensation true joy is found with the God in you that eternal hope called salvation as those who have the joy of the Lord in life tend to have less stress for they are like Mary, the mother of Jesus, highly favored and truly blessed so don't worry about the temporary external facade of happiness by which life's circumstances can destroy you're on the greatest journey which is your life and in Jesus there is joy
