Joy

1 Thess 5:16-18:
"Be joyful always. Pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

One of my favorite scriptures, simply because it does not matter what type of day I am walking through, it speaks to me. To be joyful always, is something I certainly have to strive to achieve, and I usually fail - but to wake up each morning and thank God for the blessings that will happen today - is the BEST way to rise.
Here is what I am thankful today:

#1 - God's silent love, the moments when you cannot hear anything, but you can feel everything. Thank you Lord for your love, and the love through your Son, as it is the reason I am able to praise you, and spread the love you give me everyday.

#2 - Amy Doyle, one of my best friends --- the most giving and caring person I know, turns 20 today. :)

#3 - Watching Honey fight to stay awake first thing in the morning (soo cute).

#4 - Delirious, the music I love to listen to while I get ready for the day.

#5 - TEA!!!! Oh and Starbucks.

#6 - "Good morning my gorgeous princess" phone calls every morning from Ry -- and feeling like I am the luckiest woman in the world, to have him in my life.

#7 - Proactiv. No need to say more!!

Counting blessings is wonderful --- it's a small reminder that God will never let a day go by without showing you He loves you -- and you are a product of super perfect amazing salvation. Enjoy the smaller moments, they will be what you never forget. The smiles, the jokes, the daily "must-do's" --- are all reasons to praise!!!
