Christian Support Group Community Group
This is a place for everyone who loves Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior (or those who are seeking Him), to come and discuss important issues in their lives and find support from fellow believers in regards to their faith and life. We uphold the Bible and living a Christ-like life, not as a way to heaven, but as a reflection of our love for God.
BE A JOY-GIVER!

The foundation for real joy is a vital, growing relationship with Jesus Christ. But to fully
experience joy, we must build on that foundation in practical ways.
I found the following list of "Ten Rules for Happier Living" in an issue of Pulpit Helps.
1. Give something away (no strings attached).
2. Do a kindness (and forget it).
3. Spend time with the aged (experience is priceless).
4. Look intently into the face of a baby (and marvel).
5. Laugh often (it is life's lubricant).
6. Give thanks (a thousand times a day is not enough).
7. Pray (or you will lose the way).
8. Work (with vim and vigor).
9. Plan as though you will live forever (you will).
10. Live as though you will die tomorrow (because you will die on some tomorrow).

Praying for others, top of my "work" list...so ties in with #7.
There is a second definition of vigor... Effort, energy, and enthusiasm: "they set about the new task with vigor".
I am no longer able to work as fast and as furious physically, but now am enthusiastically and passionately..putting my entire being into my work..That is fulfilling ..Yes I agree 7 and 8 tie together well. God Bless
