Choose Joy in 2011 - Happy New Year!
I made this framed 'Choose Joy' sign based on phrases that I hear from my daughter. Phrases such as ...
These all tend to revolve around the theme to love one another. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34 - 35 (NIV). When I read this verse I can't help but to think of the lyrics from a song that the Carpenters used to sing:
I am making a conscious effort this year to Choose Joy, Scatter Kindness, Plant Love, and Live Life. "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. " James 1:2-6 (NIV)
Won't you join me and we'll all sing ...

What the world needs now is love sweet love, It's the only thing that there's just too little of. What the world needs now is love sweet love, no not just for some but for everyone.

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on. (DC lyrics)
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long

Pay It Forward Friday
I'm starting something new ... a Pay it Forward Friday where I will try to do something for somebody else because I've been blessed myself. I'm starting out with an etsy treasury of items from my treasury friends, fellow etsy'ers that have included me in their treasuries. So please click on the picture and check out each individual's item if you have a chance. I know that you will like what you see :)
If you're not familiar with Pay It Forward you can check out Catherine Ryan Hyde's novel, Pay It Forward, that was published in 2000 by Simon & Schuster. Also in 2000, Warner Brothers created the movie, Pay It Forward based on this novel. This concept has caught on and there is now a Pay It Forward Foundation which defines Paying It Forward as ... "It begins with doing a favor for another person ~ without any expectation of being paid back. Indeed one would request that the recipient of that favor do the same for someone else ~ ideally, for three other people." What a great movement that I hope continues for years to come.
