My dad is famous for his optimism; as far as most people are concerned he is completely candy-coated. He lives out James 1:2 unlike anyone I have ever met.

Ginny,
What a sweet tribute to your Dad! It seems that he was a man after God’s own heart!
May we remember to throw up some praise and thanksgiving at all times, especially when Satan attempts to mess with us.
Great post!
What a lovely post!

This was a great thing to have in my inbox today! I have been trying to have joy regardless. I have been suffering for almost three years with a debilitating illness. I keep trying to explain to people that I have the Joy regardless of my circumstances. Thanks for putting it into words I could share with my folks!
What a wonderful way to start my day…with a heart full of Thanksgiving! Thank you for the joyful reminder to thank God in the midst of life no matter the outcome!
I love this. I’ve always wanted to have that kind of joy and I’ve never been too good at it in the midst of trial. But I know you’re right…the praise and thanksgiving while we’re going through those difficult moments makes a huge difference. Quite convicting!
Love this Ginny! Sounds like our dads would be fast friends! What blessed girls we are!

“Celebration in the midst of struggle is odd for our human nature because it can’t be attained without God. ”
Wow, love that so much!
I like this story a lot. It’s true that the best thing we can do in a tough situation is to rejoice in the Lord.
