I am BLESSED! I feel blessed, I always know I am blessed but every now and again I have a day that just really makes me feel so blessed, so joyful. My cup just runs over with it!
I love that feeling, that feeling of being so happy, feeling that all is well and being totally contented with what I have. There is nothing like it.
To sit and just have a blast playing silly little games with the kids and not have a care in the world, that is the next best thing to being a kid! To go through my laundry with joy just really feeling (more than usual) how awesome it is to care for a family, to just have a family. To be needed and wanted in this world and know where you will be when it is gone.
When your child comes up to you with a problem, a hug, to say I love you Mommy!, or in need of some comfort...or when you have to clean the kitchen after a good hearty meal you prepared for your family to enjoy....when you are seated around the table enjoying each other's company or just trying to convince a stubborn toddler to eat her food..... It is there. Joy is in the simplest of places if you only take the time to look.
God can bless you with joy in any situation. It helps if we ask, if we look for it, if we try to cultivate it and nurture it. Come to a bad situation with an outlook of joy and confidence. After all, we can do ALL things through CHRIST! Hooray!
I love this post! What an inspiring way to start my own day! Thanks <3
