Christian joy is a good feeling in the soul, produced by the Holy Spirit, as he causes us to see the beauty of Christ in the word and in the world. Joy as defined in the dictionary is a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.
What joy means to me is to achieve both happiness and joy which include well-being, success, good-fortune, happiness, joy, prospects, bliss, delight, contentment, a satisfying experience and expression of one's thoughts.
There are many things in life that give us joy. I will name a few.
Sending snail mail to a friend - You will get a burst of joy knowing that you've brightened the day of your friend (and vice versa).
Volunteer - When you help others you help yourself.
Go shopping - When you go shopping, you elevate your mood.
There are so many more things in life that bring us joy. Just think about it and you will realize our joy-filled our lives are.
This is how this scripture applies to my life. When the Lord is part of my life, my life is filled with joy. When I continue to pray, read my bible and help others then my life will always be filled with joy.
I hope you were encouraged by my comments. I pray that your life is also filled with joy. God Bless You!
I hope you like the pics that I've chosen for you!

Blue swallowtail butterfly (rare).
Battus philenor, the pipevine swallowtail or blue swallowtail,[1][2] is a swallowtail butterfly found in North America and Central America. The butterflies are black with iridescent-blue hindwings. They are found in many different habitats, but are most commonly found in forests.[3] The black or red caterpillars feed on Aristolochia species, making them poisonous as both larvae and adults, while the adults feed on the nectar of a variety of flowers.
The upper surface of the hindwings are an iridescent blue or blue green with pale, arrowhead markings. Males have brighter metallic regions than females. The underside of the hindwing has seven orange submarginal spots surrounded by iridescent blue. Both surfaces of the forewings are black or dull blackish brown. Individuals of the Northern California subspecies, Battus philenor hirsuta, are smaller and hairier. Pipevine swallowtails can have a wingspan to up to  3 1â„2 inches (89 mm). Battus philenor can usually be found in fields, meadows, gardens, parks, open woods, roadsides and stream sides.
I hope you enjoyed learning about these "somewhat different butterflies"!

I always like to find something different for these swaps and although this is not a type of butterfly is still is a "type" of butterfly.
Because of the season I chose the Butterfly Ornament. There are so many lovelies out there one could devote a whole tree to just butterflies.
I hope these make your days merry and bright.
Scroll saw ornaments.
Love this that it "captures" a Monarch so well.
