JOY & LOVE

Today I took Joshua took to the doctor's. His allergies are acting up because even though it is Feb., the weather has been so warm. I have to put him back on allergy meds and saline his nose four times a day to keep his ears clear. Is that too much information? Sorry.
This morning Jason went to work on his car project for his odeyssy of the mind class. He has a competetion in March. It is a cool logic type class. I think he enjoys it. He is in it with his best friend.
While he was still gone and after the doctor's I watched Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls. It was good. A bit unrealistic and too happy endingish, but in a movie I like a happy ending.
Hey I'd like on in life, too. But what does that really mean? I think we are all searching for happiness, but this is not what God wants us to do. Happiness is an emotion. If we watch ourselves we will feel happy and sad every day. But what we really should be seeking is contentment and joy in the Lord. Joy is different in unlike happiness it should not go away. Just like love, the world's view of love is an emotion, but God's view is a that LOVE IS A CHOICE! Even when that feeling fades (the lust of it) we still are there. LOVE IS A COMMITTMENT! God knows this and shows this every single day. Of course He knows it, He created love. What are you seeking, happiness or joy? Don't get me wrong happiness is nice, but joy and love in the Lord are way better. So I ask are you joyful? God is waiting to fill you with His love and joy all you have to do is ask, and then keep asking every single day (this is the hard part for me.) Good night! -Becky
