#joyisachoice #maryoliverpoetry If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.” Don’t Hesitate #donthesitate #feeljoy #possibilities #joy (at Terra Lago) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFM1-Sbhusc/?igshid=19649v6sbob64

#joyisachoice #joyiswithinyou #difficultemotions #difficulttimes I see the suffering. I feel the anxiety. I sense the worry. The hesitation is present and impacting us. 100k people impacted by a growing virus with no vaccine. Feels daunting. This can happen at the time of pandamic. This can happen anytime our safety is threatened. Does worry help us? Never. What helps us? Feeling grounded and centered. Believing that no matter how hard, we have got this. How do we ground ourselves in the chaos of news and environments that add to chaos? How do we center us, ourselves in the midst of uncertainty? We go back to the origin of us. We remember our own qualities. We remember that smile that brings us joy and comfort. And then we smile because we know now that our smile is the source of our joy at this point and in this moment.

It rains on the just and the unjust. We are promised hardship because it refines our character. Everything hard in life is not an attack of the enemy. Keep your joy, start praising God for his promises and protection and keep moving forward. You were created for a divine purpose. www.tihproject.com #restoration #miracles #blessings #refined #joyisachoice #praise #prayerispowerful🙏 (at The International H.O.P.E.
