Have you wondered why everyone is so full of joy on the day they get married? They don't care if it's snowing when it was supposed to be a sunny summer day; they don't care if the cake didn't arrive. It's because they are focusing on what matters most; they are focusing on what's going right! It can be one of the happiest days of our life because of what we are focusing on. Sometimes we have to intentionally look for something good to focus on that will bring us joy, often with difficult family members. Maybe the focus could be that they aren't difficult, they are just different. Circumstances are not what bring us joy. It's our thoughts about the circumstance that can bring us joy. If we choose to focus on the good in a person or on what's going right in any given situation we will feel joy.
