Today I am choosing JOY


Feeling a case of the "grumpies" today.  Just feel irritated and frustrated. No particular reason except maybe I could blame hormones, 4 boys and a dog.   But from this moment on today, I am CHOOSING joy.

I am CHOOSING to (1 Peter 3:8-12, The Message Bible)

"Be agreeable.
Be sympathetic.
Be loving.
Be compassionate.
Be humble.
No exceptions.  No retaliation.  No sharp-tongued sarcasm.  Instead, bless-that's "my" job, to bless.  I'll be a blessing and also get a blessing.  Whoever wants to embrace life and see the day fill up with good, heres what you do:  say nothing evil or hurtful; snub evil and cultivate good; run after peace for all your worth.  God looks on with His approval.  Listening, and responding well to what He asks"

Today I am choosing joy.
