Finding Joy Now

 I hope this posts finds you joyful and happy.
Are we finding joy and happiness in our everyday experiences? Are we looking into our mirrors and seeing the joy that is within each of us? Do we stop during our hectic lives to meditate and ponder the eternities? Do we see others in the same way God sees them? Doing these simple things will bring us joy and happiness. 


Maybe we are waiting for the perfect body, or other outward feature before we will be happy or joyful. Are we waiting for that magical moment when everything in the universe aligns perfectly, before we find happiness and joy? I would like to suggest we can find happiness and joy now, today, right this moment. We can focus on having joy and being happy as we perform everyday activities that to some may appear mundane. 


Feeding our bodies healthy foods may seem like a silly thing to compare joy and happiness to; however, we can find great joy and happiness when we are in good health. After all, we know we cannot buy good health. So, it stands to reason that if we focus on feeding our bodies good, healthy foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, and seeds, we will find joy; even hidden treasures, as we become more vibrant, full of energy, and health. All this will lead to joy and happiness.


Keeping our bodies clean from harmful substances will also provide joy and happiness. Again, this may seem silly or trivial; however, a closer look at this concept will prove that by refraining from smoking or drinking we will have increased joy and happiness. Our bodies will be fresh, clean, and free from toxins which will pollute and poison our vital organs; leading to disease and possibly an early departure from this world. 


Some may say they would be happy or joyful if it weren't for so and so, or such and such. Let me say that we make our own happiness my dear brothers and sisters. We cannot stand before the God who created us and say we did not fill the measure of our creation because our neighbor was unkind to us; or because our husband, wife, partner, child, etc. were responsible for our unhappiness due to their actions. We have to take responsibility for our own happiness; we cannot blame anyone for our lack of motivation to be happy in this life.


When we look into our mirrors; let us ask ourselves a few questions:


1. What will we choose to do today to make ourselves happy?


2 .What do we want for the person in the mirror, and what will we choose to do today to be happy and find joy?       


3. What will we choose to do when others do not live up to our expectations?


These questions, and others you may ask, can assist in creating a joyful and happy now. Now is the time to find joy and happiness in our lives. Life is but a blink of an eye. We must act now to find the joy and happiness that is ours. God wants us, HIS children to be happy and joyful.


I pray that each of us can find that joy and happiness that is uniquely ours. 
May we each find happiness and joy in the simple things in life today, now.


Sending peace and joy your way,
Your Heavenly Healer
