This Must Surely Mean

In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy.

— Philippians 1:4

Judy loves to point out that Jesus 1st, Yourself last, and Others in between makes JOY.

I have another friend who put that same thought to music.

Please don’t hate me for this, but you’re about to get a song stuck in your head.

Clear your throat and join the rest of us in singing out loud, to the tune of the chorus of Jingle Bells (we’re skipping the “Dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh” part and going straight to the chorus, you know, the “Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way” part) —

J – O – Y,

J – O – Y,

This must surely mean

Jesus first

Yourself last

Others in between

[repeat]

Good reminder. You and I could have worse messages stuck in our heads today so here we go, all together now: “J – O – Y, J – O- Y, this must surely mean….”
