Happiness is a choice. It doesn't just happen to you. One day you wake up and are happy with your life. You have to choose consciously each day to be happy.
I have been struggling with anxiety over the past months. Mostly about our future. I acknowledge in my head that it is in God's hands, but I have struggled so much with really letting go of making plans and worrying about it. This weekend I decided that it is time.
Time to let go completely and seize today. No more moaning about where we will live, or what we will do, or anything. Just trust for tomorrow.
And today? Well, it is full of delight and laughter if I stay present in it.
Kids helping out in the kitchen and giggling about it.
Snuggling puppies.
A hug from my sweetie.
Stars in the sky.
Sitting as a family at the breakfast table.
Getting ready for special school days together.
Quiet evenings with a peaceful house.
God is very good to have blessed me with all this. He will continue to be good if I just let him.

Yes. Thank you for this reminder, to live in the present day that God gives us and to leave the future in his hands. That's easier said than done, but if we keep our eyes focussed on him, it becomes easier and we receive his peace about the future.
