I have a word that is going to be my “Reflective Word of the Year- 2015” It is JOY.
Scripture says: “…weeping may last through the night, but JOY comes with the morning.” Psalm 30:5,NIV
When I wake up every morning, I will try to have JOY and usually I do. I am very joyous for a new day and new adventures. You can decide to wake up and be JOYful or you can choose to be miserable. I find the word JOY a lot this time of year. Like the song “JOY to the World”. It usually is tied together with Peace and Love. Seems only natural for three (holy trinity) attributes to be linked. God fills my life with JOY but also Peace and Love. I put a smile on my face and choose to live my life as a happy person and try to spread the JOY Nothing is more satisfying than to make someone else smile. Why are people negative, grumpy, discouraged, sour and depressed? They are ALIVE! There is life running through their body and it may not be the best body, but it’s a chance to make the most of life. I love the movie “SCROOGE” with Albert Finney. Just watched it for the last time this season on New Year’s Day. The ending where he says, “I will live my life…as if it were my last.” Always shows me that as miserable of a man that he was, he saw the chance to change and begin again. Such a great story. I choose to live my life as if it were my last. I love life and will keep smiling.
JOY TO THE WORLD!!
