WHERE IS JOY FOUND?

Sometimes you must look forward,
And refuse to look back,
You must not allow fear to hold you down
or keep you prisoner.

If your afraid to move on
And you continiue to live
In a past of regrets,
You miss the point of being alive.
You have already buried yourself
In your coffin of limitations
And in the ground of fear.

There is joy in new beginnings,
And in new opportuntities.
There is excitement and wonder
In fresh starts.

Joy is simple yet profound.
It is in your attitude ,
Brought about by appreciation
of the ordinary and the simple.

There is joy in the smell of fresh coffee in the morning,
In the song of a bird outside your window,
In a fresh breeze on a hot day,
In the laughter of family as you gather.
There is joy in meeting someone new
And starting something new...
Oh the possibilities are endless...
Don't limit yourself...
And don't limit what God can do,
If you don't lay down and stop trying to live.
Decide to live another day and expect good things to happen!
