Joyful

Sitting in church this morning thinking about what it means to be joyful even on the hard days. Being joyful is a choice sometimes not always an easy one especially at work. How can you be joyful in an environment where everyone is always negative and criticizing each other. So I’m challenging myself this week to choose to be joyful when I’m at work, when I’m at home and my kids are driving me crazy, when my week is busy and exhausting. Instead of complaining I’m going to praise. If joy is a choice I’m going to make it. I’m tired of being angry and frustrated all the time by all the things around me. I want to be happy and bring joy to myself and to those around me.
