I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy

I'm not sure where my joy is lately. It's not down in my heart.

As I was talking with a student today about the fruit of the spirit, I realized that I'm lacking joy. The other ones needs some work as well, but I've decided that I need to focus on joy this week. I am allowing little things to steal my joy and put me in a foul mood. I mean little things. It's a bit ridiculous. I'm focusing too much on the things causing stress in my life, rather than the positive and uplifting things. The good things are there in abundance and I need to start recognizing them and giving God praise for his goodness.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Psalm 51:12
