Finding Joy Today...

Finding Joy Today…

It was amazing last night we went to a meeting for one of the colleges I teach at and as we drove through some of the local neighborhoods it was amazing to see so many dark homes. So many that have bought into the medias mind-set sending them into a depression. What is amazing is if we ignore the negative garbage in the media and begin to be thankful for where we are today. Many have lost homes, jobs and more and yet there is still Joy and Hope in their life. How is this? This is about a choice to move on, so what if you can’t put hundreds of dollars of gifts under a Christmas tree and give the kids everything they say I want to because the TV commercials have said you have to have this to be cool. What if this year it is a day of celebrating family, those in our lives and the blessings we have today. There is always something to be grateful for…no matter how small.

Our Christmas this year will have no gifts, only a meal with family and friends and great conversations. We have hung our lights, decorated the tree and have chosen to celebrate where we are at…So the question is where do you find your Joy today?

Are you willing to join me in celebrating where you are at?
