"Oh come let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thatnksgiving. Let us shout joyfully to him with psalms." (Psalm 95 1-2)
I was reading this yesterday, and started wondering about my own joy. It's been a busy week, lots to do, some stress...but shouldn't I still be rejoicing? I think of the hymn and the words, "this is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it." Do I do that? Most often...no.
There is so much to rejoice over, but I think I get bogged down in the daily grind and forget to take joy in the Lord. I do take immense joy in Ryan and thank God every day for him, but it is not always easy to rejoice in the little things when I don't want to make dinner, or mop the floor. However, I think I need to change my thinking.....

Great reminder for all of us! Thanks for sharing! :)
How true is this!
Well said - during the holiday especially it is easy to get caught up in the day to day and forget what really matters.
