Do you know what “Joyology” means? It is the study of caring, sharing, and listening and Sacrifice.
This was written by Mr. Jeineke in 1975
We would like to know what you think: dan@goldcoastchronicle.com
What is a Joyologist? A joyologist then would be one who studies joylogy. Frankly our world could use a great many joyologists whose mission in life is to actively research the effects of discussing and sharing joy. The research could branch out into how joy affects our careers, family lives, and friendships. The very act of doing the active research should spread jubilation throughout the world and bring about positive results. What a fun job!
All one needs to start with is to share the words joyism, joyology, and joyologist with others. Use the words daily and make them a part of the world’s vocabulary.
The upcoming year is going to challenge us all. Here is something we need to think, this is from an unknown reader. It is called: Hut’s On Fire
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, Uninhabited Island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Everyday he Scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions.
One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his Little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst Had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief and anger He cried out, “God! How could you do this to me?”
Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship Approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! “How did you know I was here?,” asked the weary man of his rescuers. “We saw your smoke signal,” they replied.
The Moral of This Story:
It’s easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn’t
lose heart, because God is at work in our lives…. even In the midst of our pain and suffering. Remember that the next time Your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a Smoke signal that summons the Grace of God.
