JOY

During an all faith service at Camp RYLA the message was about joy. Whether you are religious or not the message was really good and I wanted to share that via my blog. A boy got up and asked "What is Joy?" to which he answered JOY is Jesus, Others, Yourself. Then another boy asked what Joy was. He said that joy was different than happiness. Happiness is when your favorite sports team wins or you get a free ice cream cone. Joy is a peace that you feel within yourself that did not rely on outside events. I just thought that was a really neat message. So this week, no matter your problems, the scale, etc. know that you aren't alone and that you don't have to rely on events to be filled with joy.
