Discover The Joy

One of my very favorite songs in all the world begins with the lyrics

How quickly we forget where happiness is
It can be found in every place we're in
("Joy is in the Journey", Jenny Phillips, Remember the Journey CD)

I find that no matter what circumstance we are in, we can find pure and abiding joy. It's all in the attitude. We are who we allow ourselves to become. We may not have much control over circumstances we may face, but we are in complete control of our own happiness. There is so much good to be found in everything, if we just look around. The Lord gave us EVERYTHING in order to make us happy. He does not give us circumstances to make us sad. He wants us to create our own happiness through all.

Let us try to be a happier people. Let us look for the good that might come today. Let us unearth the joy in every moment, whether good or bad, because there is something good in everything around us, in every second of every day. Let's look on the bright side and discover the joy.
