Drops of Joy – A Devotional Journey of Healing — Update 21
Our family patriarch went to be with Jesus last month. His loss is a deep void for his loved ones. Earth’s loss is heaven’s gain, and we carry many fond memories of him that bring a smile. The suddenness of it all brought reality into focus for me in that I am of the same generational circle. Days seem to roll around faster and the urgency to redeem the time increases. Are you noticing that? This devotion deals with end-of-life and the faith that leads us through. Read. Pray. Heal.
From the book:
“Physical death is certain. Nobody escapes its grip until Jesus comes back for the church. I went through childhood thinking I could be superhuman. Mighty Mouse was a favorite
cartoon. My teen years changed the focus to immortality, and when I became a mother, I had to be supermom, able to leap heaps of laundry in a single bound. Now, I’m happy to sit upright every morning. Life has a way of doing that. This body I’m in ain’t what it used to be. Thanks be to God that it isn’t my forever body. One day, God will give me a perfect heavenly body, able to sing and dance in praising Him forever. Pretty cool.” (Taylor, Joy S., Drops of Joy – A Devotional Journey of Healing, 2026, Lily of the Valley Publishing Services, Indiana, p. 53)
Come and join me on this journey of God’s healing. May a piece of my past lead you to a better future through God’s intervention. This is a compilation of prose, poetry and prayer to bring you closer to the Lord. Read. Pray. Heal.
