I have often heard that we have to choose, meaning, to pick out as being the best or most appropriate of two or more alternatives, JOY.
We would all rather be happy always but that isn't possible, every day brings circumstances that make us sad but maybe we can choose to not let it get us down and choose to be Joyful.
My heart is filled with Joy when I am happy.
All by blessing comes from the Lord. My children
and Grandchildren are a blessing. When we're together they know just what to do and say to lift my spirit up.Yesterday my grandson, Johnathan, called to check on us, and my granddaughter, Morgan, and I was texting just to keep in touch. Even now when I think of and writing this I fill Joy rising up in my heart. Oh the Joy of the Lord IS my strength!
When I count my blessing and actually name them out loud, I find myself smiling with a heartfelt
Joy.
In the world today there's so much bad things going on every day. I choose to focus on the good things in my life. I don't watch the news on TV, but I do see things on Facebook, so it's there to remind me and bring me back to reality. Don't stay in that frame of mind for long or it will bring you down. I stop sometimes and remember what the fruits of the Spirit are. We should try to produce some of these into our daily life if not all of them.
Yes, there is evil all around us but we can focus on Joy.
Have a Blessed Day filled with
Joy!
