Joy is more than happiness. The word happiness comes from the root hap which means "chance." Where happiness is circumstantial, Joy is not. Joy is an unshakable confidence in the truths of God, despite circumstances...despite circumstances! When our children see an unshakable confidence in the life of one who knows God personally, they are impressed and drawn to know him themselves.
The Joy of the Lord is my strength today!

Tracy,
Wow, that's neat I didn't know that. I knew that i didn't like the word happy as much as I liked the word joy becasue it seems shallow in comparison to joy. But that explains it. Happiness is left to chance and joy is something we walk in a live in, in Jesus.
