"Joy and Thanksgiving are two characteristics that should always be present in every person's life. Thanksgiving over the realization and testimony of what Yahweh has done in us, and the joy we find in serving Him. I do not want to go back to the past experiences but I also have to remember that those past experiences in Him are the foundation of who I am. That is what is responsible for who and where I am today." - F Nolan Ball from his message series titled "A Study in Colossians."
