In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy … Philippians 1:4

Today you are invited to consider for whom you pray with joy whenever they cross your mind, or you are with them.  Who is so special in your life, they bring you joy? Where are they? Do they live close to you or far away? Or perhaps they have already gone ahead to be with Jesus? How can you express your gratitude to them today, either by message or email or a call or by a prayer of thanksgiving if they are out of reach? What do you want to say to God about these people who fill you with joy today?

As 2017 draws to an end this is my salute to you. You are all around the world, and every time I see you have visited this blog, I am filled with joy and I thank God for you.   It is your visits that spur me on to post every weekday, and it is God working in you and me that fills my heart with joy.  Thank you for sharing 2017 with me.  May God bless you as the year draws to a close and may you rest assured that He will continue to walk with you into whatever 2018 may hold for you.
