I read Ann's blog regularly and have been SO moved by her recent trip to Africa (definitely contributed to my last post!!)<br />Thanks for the encouragement and for stopping by!

The plants are doing fairly well... check back for a follow up post on them and how I was able to find joy in gardening (Crazy, I know!)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740657423253697304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636767107796866937.post-17454940998405162372013-07-03T17:21:59.065-06:002013-07-03T17:21:59.065-06:00Dear Rebekkah,
Hello! I enjoyed reading your post...Dear Rebekkah, <br />Hello! I enjoyed reading your post and I totally agree with you that joy is something to fight for. Not easy to do! I have three boys that I want desperately to love with the love of Jesus in me and yet it is a rare day that I have not gotten frustrated and exasperated and very grumpy! <br />Ann Voskamp, on her blog, had a series of posts called "why the fight for joy is worth it" I really was blessed by her writing and you might like it to. <br />Hope your plants are doing okay!<br />Bless you, <br />SusanSusanhttp://susancontakes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636767107796866937.post-72616468411881921212013-07-02T16:50:01.922-06:002013-07-02T16:50:01.922-06:00Have you ever read Ann Voskamp's book, One Tho...Have you ever read Ann Voskamp's book, One Thousand Gifts? the whole book is based on the idea of gratitude and thankfulness, and what joy really is all about... Reading it inspired me to keep a gratitude journal, which definitely helps me remember that life is good, and I am blessed :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09660401447085258902noreply@blogger.com
