Choose Joy
I remember as a child in Sunday school singing, "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart..." Perhaps when we are children, it is easy to be joyful (provided we are loved and cared for). But as an adult, when we've seen the world as it truly is, and have experienced hardships we never imagined - and perhaps even wish we could forget - it becomes a little more difficult to take the apostle Paul's words to heart.
