I CHOOSE JOY TODAY!
Today I may venture out.. I would love to go to church! Don't know yet... getting ready is a lot of work.. I was thinking, no matter what, I choose joy today.. I don't want to have any other thoughts but joy... joy at the sunrise, joy at the flowers, joy, looking at my sweet husband who is somehow surviving all of this, joy, even brushing the kitties teeth this morning.. Joy at the fact that I can type even with shaky hands, joy over my hot cocoa, joy as I am about to exercise listening to great music.. and then I read this in Jesus Calling today:
"HOLD MY HAND, and walk joyously with Me through this day. Together we will savor the pleasures and endure the difficulties it brings. Be on the lookout for everything I have prepared for you: stunning scenery, bracing winds of adventure, cozy nooks for resting when you are weary, and much more. I am your Guide, as well as your constant Companion. I know every step of the journey ahead of you, all the way to heaven. You don’t have to choose between staying close to Me and staying on course. Since I am the Way, staying close to Me is staying on course. As you focus your thoughts on Me, I will guide you carefully along today’s journey. Don’t worry about what is around the next bend. Just concentrate on enjoying My Presence and staying in step with Me."
Thank YOU Lord for always providing..
