After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired. View more posts

What gives this statement weight is the source it points to. If joy depended on conditions, it would be fragile and fleeting. But because His Spirit dwells within, joy becomes a settled posture of trust rather than a passing emotion. Even in difficulty, we can choose joy—not as denial, but as confidence that God is at work beyond what we can see.
