Last week a friend asked if it was okay to be happy when a situation causing her a great deal of angst changed. Or should she continue to hang her head and be sad?

It’s funny how often we hesitate to find joy during difficult times. Somehow we play with the idea that we should be sad. Today I want to challenge you to find joy.

You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Psalm 16:11

…for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Nehemiah 8:10

I am making efforts to fill my days with uplifting themes from the music I listen to, the books I read and the TV I watch. This artist and his music encourages me and I hope it brings you joy today!
