JOYFUL THINGS

At times I'm so discouraged
with problems of the day
I fail to see the joyful things
that are along the way.

When troubles overwhelms me,
it's then my nerves may fray.
That's when I need to take the
time to simply sit and pray.

Reflecting on God's many gifts,
it makes me so aware...
Of all the joy in little things
around me everywhere!

I must try to remember...
Though problems come my way,
Not to miss the joyful things
and the beauty of the day.
