Was reminded last night while on the phone that I do have joy... probably more evident than most people are willing to display. My immediate response: "Yeah, but there is always more joy to be had." And then, after a little thinking and a little challenging, I remembered that the joy I do have is better than none at all. Sometimes I take the blessings in my life for granted and forget that they are blessings from a merciful and gracious God, blessings which I do not deserve. I am thankful and joyful to be where I am now.
