Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Just a few sips help you to see the JOY in even the ordinary things.
Children are masters at finding JOY! When our grandchildren come to visit, Papa Pat and I are reminded of how special the simple pleasures can be. Through their eyes we see wild flowers that can’t wait to be picked by excited little fingers. We hear spontaneous laughter from those little bundles of energy over things we would miss if they weren’t there. And, oh, the joyful wonder in their sparkling eyes when they watch the birds and the butterflies. None of these things cost a penny! And yet, they bring so much simple joy!
We need to slow down and realize that it’s against the backdrop of “ordinary” that God’s work becomes “extraordinary”. When we see God in everything, we will experience His JOY. In John 10:10, Jesus said: “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Abundant life, friends, is God’s plan for us. If we will only accept each new day as the gift He intends it to be, we will find JOY beyond measure….in even the small, simple things of our ordinary day.
Drink in the Joy Juice of Jesus and look at life with a new perspective. Your ordinary day may just turn into an EXTRAordinary, JOYful one! Don’t settle for a life that’s ordinary. Drink and share the JOY JUICE of Jesus and look forward to abundant JOY in the Lord!
