Thankful For What Lasts It was a cold day, but we bundled up and headed for our walk through town. As we walked, we chatted and I looked for coins amid the leaves on the sidewalks. Borrowed this: difference between happiness and joy! Crossing a parking lot at a convenience store, I saw a quarter. Then I saw another quarter, a dime and another quarter. I continued finding coins until I had a nice handful. The total – $2.05. I was happy. My happiness depended on finding lots of coins on a walk. It lasted until something else changed my mood. What is joy? Joy is finding Jesus many years ago and knowing Him today. I can have joy even when I dont find coins. I can have joy in the midst of a storm or trial. Joy doesnt change because circumstances change. Happiness is temporary. Joy is eternal. During this Thanksgiving season, give thanks because you know Jesus, the author of joy. – Shelia
