I love God and try to be like Jesus, although I fail miserably sometimes. That's how I know I need to be redeemed. God bless you! Hugs, JJ

    "It is very rare to find a so Beautiful Mind, Spirit and Nobless nowadays in a Person.

    This is Joyce : a VERY gentle, heartful, generous, truly & sincere Friend.

    Her Stream is a Loving Promenade, a poem for Life, a poem for God, a poem for Friendship, a poem for Happyness.

    On my knees, my hat down, I say : "this is You Joyce Joseph"

    "My dear friend Joyce...you are the best. Not only in photography, but having a heart full of love for others. Your friendship has meant so much to me...to quote Carole "she knows what to say and when to say it to ease your pain and show you all her love." You have knew all the right things to say when one is overloaded and in times of need of a friend. Your walk with Christ is awesome and an example for those that do not know Him. Bless you, my friend.

    Thank you for all your support and love. Thank you is so inadequate, but it comes from the bottom of my heart.

    ((((Hugs)))"

I am very happy that she was one of the first people to notice me and made me have the confidence I have today. It is written "A picture is worth a thousand words",needless to say, your thousands of pictures are priceless. Thank you for the opportunity of allowing me to be a member of your group." I hope to one day achieve the excellence of her photography. Thanks JJ

Not a day goes by that this artsy lady doesn't encourage me, uplift me, or show the kind of concern that is rare for an internet contact to display. It is a privilege to call her a friend! For all those HUGS, JJ, God bless you!!! Chris"

    She has been so helpful and encouraging to me as a newcomer to Flickr - as she has to many others, giving freely of her time with praise and invitations. I am sure many others have also grown in confidence and improved their skills as a result of her continued support.
    Apart from being a great and creative photographer, I feel she has become a true friend, and that even if Flickr disappeared our friendship would continue.
    This lady is wonderful ambassador for both her faith, and country.
    I am proud to be able to call her a friend."

She really goes, as one of her testimonials has already said "above and beyond" to encourge others in their love of photography or encouraging them with life in general. Her strong faith and joy for life are infectious. I love how she puts a part of herself into each one of her photos.
