Finding Joy In the Simple Things

If we require major changes in the basic circumstances of life and significant events—like winning a million dollars—in order to find real joy, then it will tend to elude us.  Joy, in life, is typically experienced in simple moments, it involves taking pleasure in little things.  So, I hope you notice lots of things to bring laughter and joy into your life today.  A great place to begin is to remember that God loves you.
