Choose Joy
"Two people can be victims of the same accident. For the one, it becomes the source of resentment; for the other, the source of gratitude. The external circumstances are the same, but the choice of response is completely different. Some people become bitter as they grow old. Others grow old joyfully. That does not mean that the life of those who become bitter was harder then the life of those who become joyful. It means that different choices were made, inner choices, choices of the heart."
Here and Now by Henri Nouwen (pg. 32)
O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, what joy for those who trust in you. Psalm 84:12
