Enjoying Moments

Enjoying Moments is a 40 day devotional to embrace joy regardless of personalcircumstances. Each of the 40 days includes another ingredient in the recipe for livingjoyfully. Embracing the 7 minute joy routine as a daily habit will lead to growing in thejoy, peace, and love of Jesus. The inspiration of this book came from my youngestbrother, JonMark, and the sweet childhood and journey through life s chapters withmy siblings (Josh, Abi, Micah, and JonMark). Siblings are truly a gift from God! Thegift of the responsibility of helping with my youngest brother, JonMark, in my teenyears taught me so much about how quickly a childhood flies. And I have seen thisto be true in my own five children s lives as I now have three adult kids and two highschoolers. Savoring and treasuring moments leads to enjoying life, for every momentis truly a gift!My heart feels even more heavy and entrusted to share the value of enjoying everymoment as one of my students is no longer with us. This book is dedicated to him,Jackson Mobley. Jackson is one of the most kindhearted, gentle giants you d evermeet. He is a funny, respectful, and humble world changer. He changed my world,and our community! The honor of teaching him is beyond what my words can express. As you read this book, please join me in celebrating Jackson s life by embracing thisquestion on the 7 minute joy routine and asking yourself: How can I make someone sday better? Who can I give or speak life to today? Who can I give a pencil to?Or a cup of water? Or a gift, a prayer, a kind word, a hug or a smile? Who needsa hand to hold or someone to stand beside them? Who can I give the love ofJesus to today? Please join me in enjoying moments embracing the heart of Jesusand the circle of family and friends He places in our world.
