Lately, I've been trying harder to choose joy in spite of whatever daily circumstances arise. It's tough though especially when the kids are fighting and not listening to me. It's tough when I just feel tired and cranky. But I have to push through it and just choose to be filled with joy. Only the Father can fill me up. I just have to be more diligent in going to Him every day to get filled with that wonderful joy before I can pour it out on others.
There are so many things all around me that keep reminding me to choose joy. A friend just did a blog post on it and it's actually her New Year's Resolution. The verses I've been reading in the Bible remind me. Friends with such positive outlooks on life and joyful attitudes remind me. I feel so blessed and encouraged that God would surround me with such support.
So today, I choose joy. It's a wonderful thing.
