PonderingGod - A germ worth sharing

from PonderingGod · host Pastor Craig McCourt

National JoyGerm Day, celebrated every January 8th, was founded in 1981 by Joan E. White of Syracuse, New York, as a movement to spread kindness, optimism, and contagious joy. For Christians, this day offers a natural opportunity to reflect the joy of Christ — through Scripture, acts of kindness, visiting the lonely, and living out the fruit of the Spirit. Joy isn't just an emotion; it's a witness. And when we share it, we point others to the One who is the source of all true joy.
