The expression…you can’t pick your relatives but you can pick your friends is right on...we have opportunities to choose friends that are loving, kind and fun. Pessimistic people bring us down and can ruin a day or activity as they always find the negative in any given situation.
It is a joy to be with people who have a smile on their face, joy in their hearts and are at peace with the world. This does not mean they are without challenges or problems, but they handle them with the grace of God.
Living and being in relationship with people of God is a choice…choosing to be positive and joyful is a choice…walking with our Lord who brings us peace is a choice. As we look toward Jesus with a smile or tears all the while walking in faith...again is a choice.
Today is a new day which brings many choices but the one constant is God and Jesus Christ. Remember to be thankful as you shine for God with the smiles, laughter and joy that only He can create.
Psalm 65:4 How happy is the one You choose and bring near to live in Your courts! We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple.
Spend time in God’s peaceful presence, bring joy into your world with laughter and live expectantly for God’s grace.
Smiles & Blessings,
Cynthia Collins Kaitfors
