I'm so thankful to God this morning for the gift of choice... that I can choose how I will react to the feelings, people and circumstances I will encounter today. So today I chose joy over sadness, peace over worry, and hope over despair. And suddenly I started to get that "Friday!" kind of feeling, with 16 hours yet to go before I get there!

You know, a caffeine boost lasts only as long as it takes to drink a cup of coffee, but the joy of the Lord is in your heart forever! I'm grateful. : )

"This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curses. Now choose life..." (Deuteronomy 30:19 NIV)
