Angela Thomas Quotes

Honestly, I couldn’t remember the last time I asked God to fill me with joy. Or to create a joyful spirit in my children. Goodness knows I’ve asked for peace and sanity and obedience. I’ve prayed for healing and wisdom. I’ve worshiped the Lord and studied His Word. But joy? How in the world did I forget about the beautiful, good, and pleasing gift of joy?
