I have always liked Thursday. Some think it’s an odd day of the week, but for me, it seems to be my thoughtful spot.  It’s my day where I take a look back at what I’ve done so far, and take a look forward to what I have yet to do and how I want to do it. It’s a day that serves to keep me in forward motion…regardless of what the earlier part of the week has thrown my way.

I have always had a passion about sending encouragement to others, so please stop by each week to get something to ponder on for your own week.

I also invite you…no, I encourage you…to reply back with your responses to these thought-filled questions. Your words will not only encourage me, but will encourage others who stop by.

As for me…today I find my joy in “rest.” It’s been a busy week, with a bit of stress and worry tossed in there. I find myself with some down time today, so I am embracing it. I’m listening to music that lifts my heart and reading truths (Matthew 11:28) that fill it back up again.

So how about you? What does your joy look like today?
