A Joyful Place

0 Recommendations

Just wanted to say thank you to part of my daily "inspiration."

On FB, I receive occasional inspirational messages, and today's was ". . . that to burn out the pain, just find a place filled with joy. God created joy as a balm for pain. What are some places, who are some people filled with joy that you can rely on to ease your pain?"

Well, when I am having a bad day, which usually means a painful day, I can come to Oley/Inspire, and read the posts and either be uplifted or know there are others out there that are going through ugly and or painful days just like I am and as bad or sad as that is, it can be so helpful to know one is not alone.

I don't even know you but consider you all friends because you have all been so friendly and kind and you don't even know it.

Thank you for simply posting in the journal. You simply don't know how helpful you can be sometimes.

I hope I can return the favor some time.

Sincerely,

Lori B
