    I pray it is grace enough to laugh for sure- for you- and for me too. Thank you *always* for you- your words, your honesty and your God- given testimonies. You are such a blessing. I pray you are given strength as you bless others. Be joyous and full of laughter & sunshine🙏☺️🌻💞

    Joni -- Your take on things is so right on! Without a doubt you are the greatest lemon-ade maker of all time. I wish I had the ability to laugh at my circumstances when they turn sour. But even if I do not, when life deals me a low blow, and I'm feeling sorry for myself, woe is me, etcetera, I think of you. Then I'm ashamed of myself. Do you see the blessing you are? My guess is -- probably not. Thank God! What an awesome Savior He is! "Look on Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth" -- Is. 45:22.

    THANKYOU JONI for reminding us(me) to be joyful in suffering. I feel foolish b/c I can still use my arms & legs. I'm only 59, but in the last 5 years I've developed some problems that when put all together can bring me down. The hardest is chronic fatigue syndrome, who ever penned that name hit the hammer on the head. I appreciate your courage & faith!😏🧔

    This was perfect! My 87 year old mother had a stoke and sometimes she has a pity party and says it's just too hard. I let her have her party and then I remind her that life is good. God isn't ready for her yet. We'll get through it together, with God's help.

    Thank you for sharing. I'm just not in that arena to laugh at my future. Truthfully, I don't see much of a future right now. Oh how I pray I'll have a relationship with Jesus like you. From what I've read of your story is been hard earned. I wish I could look forward and have hope. It's hard when you're constantly reminded of your past. 😢 thanks again for sharing.
