PURE JOY

​                                                            PURE JOY

                                  During the past two years,
                                  practically all of us have
                                  been affected by Covid-19.
                                  For some the flu and its
                                  outcome have been minor.
                                  Others in our neighborhoods
                                  have buried family members,
                                  friends, and fellow church
                                  members.

                                  Millions of tears have been shed
                                  Consolation has often been scarce
                                  or non-existent.

                                  Perhaps the following scripture may
                                  give some of you comfort:
                                 
                                  "Consider it pure joy, my brothers
                                  and sisters, whenever you face trials
                                  of many kinds. (James 1:2, NIV)
