This truly made my day when I read it and I pray it makes your!
JOYFUL THINGS
At times I'm so discouraged
with problems of the day
I fail to see the joyful things
that are along the way
When troubles overwhelm me
It's then my nerves may fray
that's when I need to take the time
To simply sit and pray
Reflecting on God's many the gifts
It makes me so aware
Of all the joy in little things
around me everywhere!
I must try to remember
though problems come my way
not to miss the joyful things
and the beauty of the day.

Thanks, Monica! Well today, I have enough money for gas for the lawn tractor, sunshine on the lawn to mow, Minou is still alive, even though she need my nursing care, and some one of these inept housecats caught a mouse last night in my house (ewwwwww), and left mouse pieces on the floor for me (double ewwwwww), so it won't be eating anything in my cupboard. And baby Polly just came for a cuddle after terrorizing all the big cats. So, life is good. Even when it isn't. Hugs, Marji

Thank you Monica. Too often we are concentrating on the negative. Thank you for the reminder to look around us and see the beauty and good things and thank God for each and every one.
