Question: 26% of people do this while cooking. What is it?

Answer: Dance!

I guess it goes to show that even the simplest things in life can bring us joy, like cooking, a cup of coffee, the laughter of children, or time with a pet. But what about when it seems like nothing can bring us joy? When things seem hopeless, when there’s anxiety, pressure, loss, or sadness we can find joy elusive.

Jesus said He came to show us the Father’s love so that His joy would be in us, and scripture says the joy of the Lord is our strength, but how do we find it? Today we continue our series on the prayers of Christmas. Pastor Jill brings a message called “A Prayer of Joy.”
