Well, halloween is officially over! (ok I know this post is a little late.....)
Anyways, it is now time to move into the HOLIDAYS!! Yesss!!!! Not Christmas quite yet....come on people...haha....
But when I think of Christmas I think of cheerfulness and joy. I think these are very wonderful qualities to cultimate in oneself. There is a proverb that my grandma had on her wall that said "A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance." When I think about it, some of my favorite people in my life have been those who have been full of cheer. They buey me up and give me strength to enjoy my life! My sister Courtney is one example of a cheerful person. My Grandma June. My mom at times. Some of my best friends. :)
Where does cheer come from? Well, from the mouth of Shayna, it seems like cheer comes from someone who actively seeks the good around them. They are full of gratitude and humility and see things from an optimistic perspective. They think, "How can I make someone's life great today??!" They see the good in everyone around them. (or at least they try to...) It exudes in their very countenance. It comes from several personal decisions to think of good things. When I meet the Lord face to face, I would like to think that He will be a cheerful person.
Anyways, that is my thought for the day! Let us be cheerful! :)
So...ready, set, SMILE!
