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!

Today I will choose JOY!! Thank you for this reminder and blessing this morning. I am enjoying reading your daily reminders each morning with my cup of tea. You have been blessing me with these thoughts and I appreciate them so much. My "cup" seems to be empty of any real good thoughts to share...too many other details on my mind and I can't concentrate on anything for long. Once this move is over I hope to get back to "normal", whatever that is. So today I will choose JOY! Thank you!!!
Sylvia, I would choose strength for myself today. But Joy is going to do for me. :):) I have Joy, that my Teddy is getting his maintenance chemo today and tomorrow will be his 100th day mark from the bone marrow transplant...and I did have enough strength to stain 14 more deck boards. Our Lord knows us and stands by us. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
p.s. Grandkids are a true blessing.
Thanks for your comments I would love to hear your beliefs on this.
I am trying to learn how to use my iPhone to post and comment.

Susie, I have to pray every day for strength. Praying for Teddy. You may remember in 2014 my hubby had throat cancer. Our Lord Is faithful and hears our prayers.
Thanks Pamela I love to get feedback on my post. You are all encouraging me when you do. I just learned how to get on my blog with my iPhone. Your comments weren’t coming in to my gmail.
Have a joyful day!
Sylvia
Thank you for this reminder! I am a naturally negative person, and I really need to work hard to look on the bright side!
I so agree! We must always choose JOY!!
Hi Sylvia, when visiting your blog today on your birthday, I happened on this older post. I love the topic of joy and am studying Philippians, where Paul uses the words joy and rejoice 18 times. While he is in prison. What a wonderful guide the Bible is and thank you for this post.
