With everything that has been happening these past nine months, its been hard to find Joy in anything. That was until one Sunday our Pastor said choose Faith not Fear. I never put my tree up until the day after Thanksgiving. This year I decided to put it up before. I also decided to decorate every room in my house with some Christmas, which is something I haven't done since my kids were little. It gave me so much joy to carefully take each ornament and really look at it and remember where I got it or who made it for me before I placed it on the tree. I didn't rush. It took 3 days to do my decorating which in the past I've usually done in a day. This year by taking my time I actually found I enjoyed doing it and didn't feel rushed. It gives me Joy every morning when I turn the lights on the tree. I look around and see Joy in each decoration and it makes me happy. This Pandemic is not going to win,I am choosing Faith over Fear and going to have a joyful holiday.
