Deck the halls with boughs of holly, ‘tis the season to be Jolly!
Have you ever known
someone who can’t seem to be jolly? Not
just at this season, but ever. It’s hard
when they try to drag you down too. I
will continue to pray for them, and for how it affects me, I will thank Jesus
for this for in even THIS, there is glory.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are
wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For
our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far
outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is
seen, but on what is unseen. For what is
seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Each day there is
something to wake up and be thankful for in my life. The joy comes from a life with Christ. No carrying it all alone. No being led by the wind, blowing this way
and that. Something to trust in and
believe in, an eternal hope, a love when I may not feel loved, an ear to listen
when I’m not feeling heard. My good
spirits, my merriment doesn’t have to come from my ever changing
circumstances. My joy should come from
within, from what I believe in, from the life I share with my savior. He was born and died for me and he did this
for everyone, EVERY DAY. Joy to the
world!
