Merry Christmas Friends!
Shanna & Susan press into the joy they discussed last week. In this discussion they bring more understanding of why and how to access the joy set before us.

One of their favorite ways to access the joy within is through an Immanuel Moment. Starting with a positive memory (ask Holy Spirit to help) spend time in that memory, appreciating all the things about it, how you felt, what you are seeing, smelling, or doing. Then invite Jesus to show you were He was in the moment, allow your awareness to open up to the truth that He is always with you and see where He was in that moment. Spend time interacting with him. Ask questions, listen to His answers, enjoying these moments are a great way to increase our awareness of His presence in every moment of the day.
