Spiritual joy is: The settled conviction that God sovereignly controls the events of life for the believers’ good and His glory. Spiritual joy is not an attitude dependent on chance or circumstance. It is the deep and abiding confidence that regardless of one’s circumstances in life, all is well between the believer and the Lord. No matter what difficulty, pain, disappointment, failure, rejection, or other challenge one is facing, genuine joy remains because of that eternal well being established by God’s grace in salvation. Thus, Scripture makes it clear that the fullest, most lasting and satisfying joy is derived from a true relationship with God. It is not based on circumstances or chance, but is the gracious and permanent possession of every child of God.

"New Shower"
 
In search of a new shower for our home, my wife and I went to a
bathroom-supply store.
 
We discussed our needs with a young saleswoman. Since it was near
closing time, we had to curtail our discussion and made plans to come back the next day to make our final decision.
 
Later that evening, my wife and I were at a restaurant, where the same young lady from the bathroom-supply store was now working a shift as a waitress.
 
As she passed our table, she suddenly recognized us and called to me in a voice loud enough for nearby diners to hear. .
 
"HEY! You're the man who needs a shower!'"
 
 
"That's Once"
 
 
A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. Their
domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town.
 
 A local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and
happy marriage.
 
"Well, it dates back to our honeymoon," explained the man. "We visited the Grand Canyon and took a trip down to the bottom on the canyon by pack mule. We hadn't gone too far when my wife's mule stumbled. My wife quietly said, 'That's once.' We proceeded a little further and the mule stumbled again. Once more my wife quietly said, 'That's twice.' We hadn't gone a half-mile when the mule stumbled the third time. My wife quietly removed a revolver from her pocket and shot the mule dead.
 
I started to protest over her treatment of the mule when
she looked at me and quietly said 'That's once.'
 
 
"A Day At The Beach"
 
 
A grandmother took her little grandson to the beach. They were having a good time until a huge wave came in and swept the boy out to sea. She fell down on her knees and pleaded to the heavens, "Please return my grandson -- that's all I ask -- PLEASE!"
 
A moment later, lo and behold, a wave swelled from the ocean and deposited the wet, yet unhurt, child at her feet. She checked him over to make sure that he was okay. He was fine. She looked up to the heavens angrily and said, "When we came he had a hat!"
Thanks Jo for sending this joke to us.
