Joy must be the shocking pink thread in our tapestry because people seem stunned by this flamboyant stitch.
When we exhibit joy during trying times, others view us as odd ducks 'cause everyone knows life ain't no ride on no pink duck.

My friend also tucked in a gift of money and a personal note.
I decided to treat myself. (One benefit of being on my own is I have no one quoting Dave Ramsey to me while I shop!)
I bought a beautiful plant. It's funny, this morning, when I left to run errands I had the thought 'I would really enjoy a potted plant for my house which I could later plant outside'. God gave me the desire of my heart.
As I was looking at the plants in the store a lady came over and started chatting with me about plants. A few minutes later she referred to me by name. I had no clue who she was. It turns out she had prayed for me one time at The Healing Room (a prayer ministry). It also turns out that she has walked in my shoes too. She has been on her own for over 25 years.
I found a photo of the plant that I'm now enjoying. It's called a regal geranium.

May thoses blooms bring you lots of joy each day. Really neat to find out about that lady who has been praying for you. I love it when we can look back and see God's faithfulness even in our greatest storms.
I thank God for His faithfulness. He knows what we need, before we know we need it. I am truly amazed on a regular basis. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart!!! Amen!!!!
God is good, Tammy
