Begin the day with a friendly voice, a companion
unobtrusive,
Plays that song that’s so elusive and the magic music
makes your morning mood.
--RUSH, Spirit of Radio
I’ve been singing this most of the day. Well, the
melody is the same but I’ve adapted the lyrics to “Oh that Joy that's so elusive.” (I tried to adapt the rest too
but so far it ain’t workin’)
I’ve been a follower of Jesus for 28 years
and I am still figuring out the whole Joy thing.
Now, Happiness I have a bit of a grip on:
I got to sleep until 7am! HAPPINESS!
I don’t have
to cook a meal! HAPPINESS!
Hubby is in a great mood! HAPPINESS!
Sons are doing
well in school! HAPPINESS!
I feel happy when I drink coffee out of cute or
meaningful mugs. I feel Joy when…
Ah. Maybe I don’t feel
Joy. Maybe I choose it.
Maybe I choose Joy when I look away from my
circumstances and look up to my Father.
Maybe I choose Joy when my world is crumbling around
me but rather than allow the crumbs to dictate my morning mood, I choose to
believe His promises for His provision, His love, His timing.
Ooooo! Maybe the song could go something like this:
“Begin the day with God’s friendly voice, a companion
unobtrusive,
Gives that Joy that’s so elusive and…ummm…blah blah
blah blah makes your morning mood.”
Hmmm. Maybe I should leave the Joy to God and the lyrics to
RUSH.
Yeah. Good plan.
