Psalm 100:1
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
When we think about that verse I think we all apply it to singing. That we go to Church and sing praises to God with a joyful heart. The singers in this picture are doing that but there is always one who is not joyful, and refuses to join in. I think the verse refers more to day to day activities, conversations, and interaction. There are some people you just like being around because they are full of Joy but there are others that you avoid like the plague because you know there is no Joy in them and if they find some they will try and destroy it. The real question, the heart of the matter is...which one are you? It's amazing that each day we get to decide which one we will to be. Someone who spreads Joy and that people love to be around, or a Joy assassin looking to kill it wherever they find it. Which one will you be today? So, wherever you go today make a Joyful Noise.

Thanks so much for that joyful message - the video is absolutely precious! And I love you for pointing out it is our choice to be joyful. I often struggle with friends who seem negative all the time - any suggestions on how to help them see the joy of Jesus, other than just to keep on praying for them and demonstrating it as much as possible? Have a Happy Thanksgiving. I miss seeing you and talking in person. God bless you - Gloria Smith
