Grieving Parents Sharing Hope

61: Planting the Seed of Joy


Listen Later

In this new series, Finding Joy Again, we are going to be digging deep into the topic of joy.

What is it?

Is it even possible to have joy in my life again?
If so, how do I get there?
How can I hold on to it and not keep losing it?

Before we can have joy again, there is a seed that needs to be planted; the seed of hope.

Most of us are familiar with Nehemiah 8:10, that the joy of the Lord is our strength, but chances are pretty good this verse hasn't been explained to you in a way that takes all the pressure off of you and turns it into a seed of hope that can be planted in your life.

Listen to this episode as host, Laura Diehl, shares what God has been teaching her about planting the seed of hope that can be nourished to eventually grow into the fruit of joy. Not a euphoric happiness, but a strength that can carry us through the rest of our time here on earth while we wait to be reunited with our children.
