Have
you had your Joy Juice today? Let’s open
the eyes of our heart to see joy in even the ordinary things.
Children are masters at finding JOY! When our grandchildren come to visit, my
husband and I are reminded of how special the simple pleasures of life can
be. Through their eyes we see wonder in
simple things …..like picking wild flowers, watching the busy ants as they
work, chasing butterflies! We find
ourselves joining in the spontaneous laughter that adults usually think is
silly and …childish! These little bundles of energy are pretty good at pointing
out the joy in ordinary things . And
their joy is contagious! Simple joy….that’s the best kind! Don't you
agree?
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’s touch
on everything, we will experience His JOY in a much deeper, more meaningful
way.
In John 10:10, Jesus said: “I
have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more
abundantly.” Abundant life,
friend, is God’s plan for us. Let's accept each new day as the gift He intends it to be, and find JOY
beyond measure….in even the small, simple things of our ordinary day.
Drink in the joy of Jesus and look at life
with a new perspective. Your ordinary
day may just turn into an extraordinarily JOYful one!
