Choose Joy
Oh the blessings of an extended weekend celebrating
life with the Mitlo families! No, we didn't celebrate one special
occasion, we simply gathered to celebrate every day life! :)
Trey
wasn't present at these celebrations, but he most certainly was a part
of them! :) It is so sweet that we could mention Trey's name, tell
Trey stories, share a few intimate, emotional insights about life and
death, shed a few tears and share a few laughs! :)
Choosing joy
over sadness doesn't come easily - or naturally. It is a day by day,
minute by minute choice. Some days choosing joy glides right off the
tip of my tongue. Some days I couldn't/wouldn't choose joy if it was
the only choice left in the vending machine!
But God is patient
and He stirs up glimpses of peace and love and hope which momentarily
cause joy in our lives. Moments become minutes sometimes. Shared
moments become hours. Collective hours eventually become days and all of
a sudden you may realize God has given you the gift of choosing joy!

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort" 2 Corinthians 1:3
