Thank you for reminding me to "choose” joy, for it will never come if I just wait for it. <br />By just waiting, I realize that I have chosen anger, discouragement, bitterness and sadness. Mixed in with impatience and intolerance, it has not been a pleasant eight months. I now have hope that even though my physical state may not change, I can fully change my emotional and spiritual state of being.<br />Thank you so much for that. Following you on your blog encourages me so much and puts my own problems into perspective.<br />May God richly bless you and completely heal you, Karen<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920772242472505190.post-65385387502024557152013-09-17T11:53:13.460-04:002013-09-17T11:53:13.460-04:00Thanks for this inspiring post, Sandra.

I LOVED the kayak picture a few posts ago--that is just awesome for you to be in the water. Your drive is inspiring. Thank you for your honesty through the challenges.<br /><br />You may well have a future in writing devotionals too! Praying for that daily choice of joy.
