Joy is what happens
when we allow ourselves
to recognize how good things are.
Joy is not necessarily
what happens when things unfold
according to our plans.

that is so very true
Now that my sister is a truthful statement. Joy is a choice, as is happiness. So thankful that Lord sealed my joy with His sacrifice! Glad you are back ... missed you!
