Drops of Joy – A Devotional Journey of Healing — Update 6
I don’t know about you, but I have to take a break from the news feeds now and again. The current events are more complicated and threatening than what we talked about when I was in grade school. Some days the dark cloud of ‘breaking’ reports overwhelms me, and I back off to think about brighter days.
From the book:
“Upheaval and uncertainty can bring on the mindset of gloom and depression, steeped in a feeling of helplessness. Some of that is self-created and/or self-inflicted. Not that we want to create dreariness and trouble in our lives, but that we fail to see the promise of the current predicament. I am humbled by those faithful ones who can look difficulty in the eye and say, ‘Wow, I can’t wait to see what God is going to do with this one!’ Do you know someone like that? If you do, you have a gem to mine. Ask them to help you figure out how to put that into practice in your own life. If you don’t know someone like that, and I think a majority of us are in this category, it’s time to develop our faith and become someone like that.”
From ‘Brighter Days’ (the poem):
“But sometimes I lose it
Behind clouds of doubt.
When it’s hidden there
This is my prayer:
Breath of God blow away
Clouds of mist and gray.
Let the Son shine through.
Reveal a brighter day.”
(Taylor, Joy S., Drops of Joy – A Devotional Journey of Healing, 2026, Lily of the Valley Publishing Services, Indiana, p.12.)
