“Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life” (WordPress prompt)

Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.

Limiting me to one huh? Cause I could say all sorts of things about deep breathing and reflection…. Cuddling my babies…Sitting in the pool with my two youngest born splashing in the water…cuddling with my wife, nerding out with my best friend(also my wife)

But if you must limit me to one. The days I am most joyful are the days where I pray. I’m trying to be more consistent with this….

I turn my attention to God. Thank him for all the blessings in my life. Ask Him to bless my children and our lives, so that we may be a blessing to others…

I find that when I do this… I am usually immediately flooded with joy… and I know why:

“You make known to me the path of life. Abundance of joys are in Your presence, eternal pleasures at Your right hand.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭11‬ ‭TLV‬‬

    I should mention… that this did not come naturally to me at first… in part because I did not know who God was. Now that I do I find it much easier for me to experience his presence
