My Pride and Joy?


My pride and joy.

 It's an expression we've all heard and probably used.

 I could tie those words around the faces of my daughters (at least on the good days).

 My hubby would likely apply them to his cherry-red, studly Corvette.
This Corvette isn't his but those adorable girls sure are!
In fact the expression is appropriate for a myriad of settings - homes, offices, even church buildings. Anything we work hard for and accomplish we tend to take pride in and feel joy about.

 Or do we? What do you think?

 I invite you today to hop over to my church's online Bible study and think with me a bit about pride and joy...

    I haven't yet used the phrase, but I think it really does epitomize my daughter in our lives. I now "get" what it really means. My pride and joy!

    It's funny Shannon but I too use that term a lot without thinking of the fact that when I'm prideful I'm usually not connected to God. Great reminder! Thanks!

      It's weird this thought just sort of struck me so I took off with it writing wise. Glad you enjoyed it!

    Hard work desn't always bring joy - it needs to be something you are passionate about too in my opinion. I love how different the male / female joys are ;)

    Sure...I have pride and joy in sanding and upholstering my husband's 1956 corvette convertible. Plus, I'm #1 Assistant mechanic(all of the time)! Not easy stuff, but when I look at that car, it feels pretty good:) Love that photo!
