Have you had your JOY JUICE today? It brings a smile to your face…no matter what
your age!
This ole
grandma is learning a lot from observing my grandchildren. They inspire me with their fresh enthusiasm for
each new day.
A lesson of
JOY that they model is that they often smile even when they are not aware that
anyone is watching! They might be
thinking JOYful thoughts… or engrossed in a favorite toy or activity…the smile spreads
easily across their face! They enjoy the
moment and time is not a factor. How often
have we missed something really special because we were so intent on staying on
schedule?
When our grandchildren are with us, an outdoor
walk that would usually take five minutes turns into a 20 – 30 minute
adventure. We notice pretty
wildflowers…and have to stop to pick them.
We see special rocks that look like treasures, so of course, we must
collect those! Many times we hear birds
singing, so that calls for us to explore and find out which tree they are
perched in or if they are flying overhead.
And then there are the ants, the roly-polys, the frogs and butterflies
that all bring such delight!!!!!!
Now, I know
that as adults we do have time constraints; we must be punctual for our jobs
and scheduled appointments. But we can
still determine to find the JOY in the little things along our busy way. Take the time to thank God for at least one
“simple pleasure” today.
Smile and enJOY your day
regardless of how busy you are! There’s
always time for JOY JUICE!
