Joy

In the busyness of things, I have learned to sit quietly and see the joy in it all. The joy in the messiness, the joy in the stickiness, and joy in the loudness, and definitely the joy in being tired of it all. Every moment God provides us with beauty and opportunities to bring happiness and laughter. It may come as the gentle breeze, the glare in your eyes, or the beauty of the stillness in the ever so rushing of life’s moments.

Each and every day, the Lord has a special gift to remind us of whose we are and the opportunities we have to generate the joy we need to get through another day. You just need to sit still and take in time-fleeting -seconds. As we reluctantly rushed to piano class, kicking and screaming- I was reminded of his renewing beauty and love. I just needed to have patience and be still.

I thank You for Your JOY, I thank you for providing it every day. Strengthening and giving me the endurance to run this race. Through this journey, you have sustained me. I will choose joy today!

All who seek the Lord will praise him. Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy.

Psalm 22:26
