Joy
Every morning is a struggle. I am not a morning person!! Neither am I a night owl, so I live the short end of the stick when it comes to sleep. And these days are no exception. I don't have help in the mornings like some lucky moms, so when I wake up I let the kids watch a cartoon or two. {Trust me: this is much better for everyone}. When I decide I'm pleasant enough to speak (usually after coffee) then I'll talk. Until then don't bother me because you'll get an earful of unpleasantries that no one deserves at 8 in the morning. lol. But I digress. Joy is the fruit of the Spirit, but it is also a choice. I can choose to be joyful or choose to have a bad attitude. It goes against everything in me to choose joy in the morning. But I must. Lord help me, choose joy, peace, love and life...for the sake of the kids, and even for myself. Happy Monday y'all.
