Smile!
So this is a topic that i have been mulling around in my head for about a week or so. It began when someone i know did something minorly stupid. I laughed and said "i thought it was funny". (trying to be lighthearted and all) the person then replied with, "yeah-well, you're not living my life right now."
The more i think about that mindset - the thought that you cant laugh about something because your life is THAT bad, the more i want to smile. i can honestly say that my life has never been so hard that i cant laugh. so hard that i cant joke around. so hard that i cant think about anything other than the trial i am facing. i believe that God is in control of everything. Psalm 16:5 says, "The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot." God chooses the trials i go through, and he also knows how i am going to handle them. oh may i never be so bogged down that i cannot smile. for when i cannot smile, my christian joy is smothered by my selfish woes.

thank you so much for this post! God is a God of joy and even if there is nothing else to rejoice in He commands that we "Rejoice in the Lord"--I think it's so cool that that is a command (and rather ironic that we ignore it) :}
