Joy

Tonight I want to talk about joy. I think this goes along the same lines as confidence. One thing that makes me so sad is all of those negative Nancy's out there. Sure, I understand that at some moments we are going to be tired or crabby or worried, and granted we all are like this from one time to another, but how can someone live life with some a negative view? Do you not see hope? Do you not see the Lord's blessings? Do you not see creation? I like to think that I am a pretty joyful person. I am not joyful just because I did well on a test. I am joyful for no apparent reason, as it seems. I am excited to live life and to see what God has in store for me. And this makes me joyful. We all should be excited to live our lives and see what happens. I know I am. I can't wait to see what my next step in life will be. Living another day doesn't stress me out. It makes me joyful. And it is my joy that I wish to share with others. I want them to take my joy, apply to themselves, and then give it away to other people. Joy. Even the word makes me happy.

I pray that you all have a joyful day tomorrow - or today :)
