Welcome to enjoying everyday life with New York Times best-selling author Joy Smyr.

On today's program Joyce will be teaching from her series Joy and Enjoyment.

There is a way to enjoy everything we do, even while driving in

traffic or cleaning up the house. Because if we have Jesus, we have joy. Now here's

Joyce with today's teaching.

All right, Father, thank you for the word.

And I pray that everybody is going to really get something

that they need. We ask you to keep everybody attentive and bring out of me the best

that you have in Jesus' name. Amen. All right, this weekend, I have three messages tonight,

tomorrow morning, tomorrow afternoon,

and I'm going to teach on joy and enjoyment.

But more so even than joy,

I'm going to be talking about enjoyment.

How to enjoy your life and not just vacation or a party, going shopping, are those rare days when something really super exciting happens to you.

Because we all know that those those are you might say far and few between.

They're in our lives but we don't live on that mountaintop all the time do we?

A lot of life, most of life is ordinary. It's get up,

go to bed, go to work, come home, do the dishes, change the oil in the car, cut the grass, go to the

grocery store, do the laundry, cook the food, watch everybody eat it, clean up the mess, get up the next day, go to work, and I believe that there is a way through God's help that we can enjoy

everything that we do.

For example, if I would have walked out here and said how many of you enjoyed driving to work in traffic?

How many of you enjoyed doing the laundry?
