Many people spend years searching for the key to possessing inner joy. Based upon the society we live in today, one could easily be led to believe that joy is experienced only to the extent that our material needs are met. Rarely do we consider the amount of time, and effort that often goes into obtaining and maintaining our superficial desires, not to mention the fact that having "more" does not necessarily guarantee more joy and peace.
I have come to the realization that regardless of where we fall socioeconomically, the amount of material possessions, or our current relationship status, a joyful heart is a grateful heart. If we are able to maintain a spirit of gratefulness throughout the many seasons of life, we will then understand what it means to have true joy. This week I encourage us to count our blessings, and we will discover many reasons to embrace a spirit of gratitude. Have a great week!
