<p>Great article on the remarkable life of the author of this song Joy to the World, written in 1719, a Christmas Carol based on Psalm 98. </p>
<p>Let’s be reminded to not loose our Joy, and if we have , find it.  Og Mandino reminded us to live every day as if it was Christmas. </p>
<p>So in the spirit of Christmas, enjoy once again this beautiful message.</p>

<p class="verse">Well, lots of reflection and research from that page on joy, feeling it’s timr to add a couple extra bales of straw to the pigs hut to enhance their day as we all hunker down for the storm. May your day be filled with joy and may you find joy if it’s not there. The world is counting on it. TLR</p>
