Elementary July Week 2 - God Gives Unexplainable Joy

Posted: 7/11/2021

Hello SCC Kids!

Did everyone have a good 4th of July? Holidays are so fun, they make me happy! What makes you happy in your life? I'm sure there are lots of things you can think of that make you happy! Now, what makes you joyful? What do think the difference between happiness and joy? Happiness can be brought on by another person, a special event like a party, or a fun object like a favorite toy or gift.  Joy is an attitude we have no matter what is happening around us. True joy comes from God. God can give us joy in our lives that we can't always explain. Our friend, King David, experiences this unexplainable joy when the Ark Of The Covenant is brought closer to him. Just knowing God was close to him made him so joyful he couldn't help but dance and celebrate!

I pray that each and every one of you experiences this kind of joy. I pray that God fills your lives with unexplainable joy and that you share this joy with others! I love you SCC Kids and God loves you too. Have a joyful week!!!

Love,

Ms. Brandy
