Just Another Day for You and Me in Paradise

I know I often am told and joke about it myself on the fact that I am a princess in my house. My hubby is awesome, and right now and this past summer I got a taste of what my friends have all the time and that is him working all the time. My kids are awesome, but sometimes I do have to light a fire under them to do any chores. I am healthy, some things lurking around but doing ok today. I have a great job that I don't take home with me. I have great family who I actually like to talk to and miss when I don't see them, ok most of them I miss. I have great friends, who I have cut myself off from lately, hope to reengage soon. I am in paradise. Not so long ago I wasn't. I NEVER forget that. I know what depression, abuse, hate, disrespect, uselessness, unwantedness, fear, and hopelessness feel like and I am not even close. I know many who are, many who need to be reached out to and I feel compelled to try to do something. I feel compelled to pray that people who need Joy look for it from the Source of joy. I hear the song in my head that goes - if each one could reach one - and I mean it. I just pray that I can show, be a tool for Christ and show JOY! Routine is great and gives me a chance to organize my life a bit. I find the time to give to Him, to work at friendships, to find new ones. This may sound strange but I will start next week when I am used to the routine of waking up early again but it is good to have a goal.
