Merry Christmas! ;D Lol. Ok, more like I hope you had a Merry Christmas!
I don’t usually shop for cloths at a big box store, but shortly before Christmas I was purchasing some items for a care package for a family member. I just walked around and finally found this shirt. I instantly grabbed one my size and was filled with ‘joy’. Not because I got a shirt, but for what it said on the front.
Choose Joy!
There is a hymn on page 275 of the hymnbook for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that reads:
A voice hath spoken from the dust, Its message pure, without alloy, Of treasured hope and sacred trust: Oh, “men are that they might have joy.”
Should sorrow come, we’ll not despair, For He would not that men should pine. The grief that comes we’ll learn to bear Until again the sun doth shine.
Before the Lord, then, humbly go. His message will our spirits buoy. On us his blessings he’ll bestow, For “men are that they might have joy.”

With all that has gone on this past year and with the hard times yet to come, may we all have a desire to ‘Choose Joy’ and let that carry us through the hard times.
