Simple Joys

 "This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." 
                                                                                          Psalm 118:24

Following is a pictoral story of the simple joys of my day today.....

The smell of a pot of homemade sauce cooking on the stove all day....
 
 

Freshly baked pumpkin cookies ready to decorate.....
 
 

A visit from my daughter Jena and granddaughter Chloe
 
 
Chloe trashing my living room with her toys!.............
 
 

My son Michael coming home from school.....
 
 








A visit from my granddaughter Cassidy and her Mom, my daughter
Candice

 
 
My husband Frank coming home from work.....
 
 
My family thought I was crazy waiting at the door to take their picture when they arrived. But as I thought about the simple joys of my days, these are the things that matter the most and bring the most joy.
 
 
What fills your day with joy?

    I love that. It has been said that people who do not express gratitude will never be acquainted with happiness. I think you are. God provides these simple pleasures to help us in dark times.
