I know that sometimes it's difficult to find joy in anything. I've had my moments this week when I felt like crying but didn't. Then I realized that there is still much to be thankful for in this world we live in. I can praise God for all that he has given me to cherish. I think we do forget in the midst of our struggles and pain to look beyond and see the whole picture of God's grace. I know I have. I know that I have to remind myself daily to take time to find that joy before letting the world and its woes suck me in. There is a saying that you don't appreciate things until they are gone from your life. That's sad.
In my present situation, I've had to step back from all the negativity that is constantly being generated about the world in which we live in and how hard it is to get by anymore. I've had to stop worrying about what's going to happen tomorrow or the next day...worrying is a sin and concentrate on the positive aspects of life. It is extremely difficult to do, but I'm doing it.
I praise God for my family and friends who even now support me in many ways. I praise God for food, shelter and opportunities to write. I even praise God for people that disagree with me or try to tear me down. I know who my redeemer is and long for others to know him too. The Lord has richly blessed me. My joy comes from him who has redeemed me with his blood.
