happiness is nice, but its temporary.
joy is something different altogether.
JOY
is a constant.
it's not dependent on circumstances
or people
but rather on a heart issue.
happiness is external;
joy is internal.
joy can be tucked deep in the heart,
even in difficult circumstances.
-Karol Ladd

I never really thought about the difference between happiness and joy -- this explains the difference really well. You're so insightful! Sincerely, thank you.
this is such a great quote...really hits the nail right on the head. we were just talking to Maggie about this regarding a situation. I'll have to share this with her. Thanks girl!
I never thought about this either. you don't have to be happy in order to experience joy...so cool. Thanks for seeking out all these amazing quotes Kristyn. can't wait til next wednesday!
what great thoughts..a good lesson for us all to learn.
Our pastor's sermon touched on this very point on Sunday!
