    Joy Drops: A God Who Pays Attention | EP60

    When Carmen's mom was in her final days, she left her daughter with a simple charge: "Pay attention so you don't miss it." Carmen has been doing just that ever since. In this episode, Carmen shares how a Sunday morning hymn became an unexpected reminder of her mother's love and God's faithfulness — and introduces the concept of joy drops: those small, intentional gifts from God that renew our hope and strengthen our souls. Pulled from Nehemiah 8:10 — "the joy of the Lord is your strength" — this episode is a gentle reminder that God is paying attention to you personally in the midst of your messy and mundane everyday life. Bible Verse: Nehemiah 8:10 Here's the link to a special blog post my mom wrote about what she would tell her younger self. I thought you might enjoy hearing more from her. https://carmenhorne.com/2015/07/dear-me-letter-to-my-younger-self-cookie-walter/ Contact Carmen: https://carmenhorne.com/
