May Your Joys Be As Countless As the Golden Grains
A little inspiration to lift your day and encourage you to press onward...
I CHOOSE JOY
(Max Lucado)
"...Today, I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance.
I will refuse the temptation to be cynical...
The tool of the lazy thinker.
I will refuse to see people as anything less
Than human beings, created by God.
I will refuse to see any problem as anything less
Than an opportunity to see God...
...To this I commit my day.
If I succeed, I will give thanks.
If I fail, I will seek His grace.
And then, when the day is done
I will place my head on my pillow and rest."
Blessings to you as you choose wisely...Rebecca

Sweet Rebecca, your message of joy is just what is needed this morning. Much to ponder in this lovely poem.
Your message made me smile, in fact I'm still smiling and will probably smile all day now.
Hugs to you my dear one,
