Joy

I just ate a Dove chocolate. On the wrapper it is written, "Joy is found in the smallest of moments. Like now!" - Ashley, Sumter SC. I love that a simple reminder just came to me with chocolate attached!

As I contemplated the things of that moment, with the purpose of finding joy, there were many happy sights. I saw a young woman modestly and attractively dressed, hair combed with a flower pinned above her ear. What joy to know that she values herself as a daughter of God. I saw two men kindly discussing in the hallway. What joy to know that they value each others opinions and care for one another. The roof here is glass and the sun is shining, what joy to know that I can look forward for sunny days and warmth.

Joy really is found in the smallest moments and the simplest things because God loves us. What joy to know that.
