Choose Joy
Posted in: Uncategorized
We cant choose our circumstances a lot of the time. We cant choose our family and our relatives. We cant choose how we look, how tall we are or the color of our skin. We dont choose to have handicaps or physical or mental limitations. Those things are determined for us.
lt;br /gt;lt;br /gt;
But we can choose love. We can choose joy. We can refuse to be cynical. I know its very easy to be cynical and bitter but it doesnt make the situation any better. We can choose to see other people as human beings created by a mighty God. And in doing so, we can choose to respect them even if theyve done despicable things.
lt;br /gt;lt;br /gt;
We can choose joy in the troubled times in which we live. We can choose to let world events bog us down with depression, fear and despair, or we can choose to help however we can and love whomever we can and pray whenever we can. We can choose to get prepared.
lt;br /gt;lt;br /gt;
Every day we make choices. You can choose to take this road or that road, to turn left or turn right. You can choose to speed up or slow down. You can choose to speak harsh words or kind ones. You can choose to be degrading or uplifting. You can choose the direction you want your day to go by how you respond to your circumstance.
lt;br /gt;lt;br /gt;
Think about the choices you make today and try to steer your course and your attitude onto a positive path. Choose to have more joy in your life no matter what. And Im going to do my best to bring a little joy into your evening if you should choose to tune in to great love songs on the radio. lt;br /gt;Have a great day!
