How weird! I was just thinking about joy when I was making the bed and cleaning up our bedroom this afternoon. (crazy morning - david was gone, and I woke up late! :) ) Anyway, I was thinking about how even doing the boring things can be done with a joyful attitude...because it really helps, and having a clean home to give my family IS a reason to be joyful! Funny we were thinking about it at the same time! :)
