  “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee” is a hymn I used to sing a lot growing up in church. But I didn’t always get the feeling God was joyful not from most of the Christians around me anyway. There were a few, however, that did seem filled with joy. These were the exceptions, and they stand out in my memory. Joyful Believers I had a teacher at our Christian school who had seven or eight children and never enough money, but he was always happy. One day he told us a story about answered prayer. He said a student had asked him to borrow a dime yes, I believe it was a dime though now that seems impossible and he loaned the student the coin. But he needed those few cents to buy a loaf of day-old bread for his large family, so he prayed the borrower would remember to pay him back. The boy remembered, and God had provided the bread for his family.
