Joyful Things

At times I'm so discouraged with problems of the day,
I fail to see the joyful things that are along the way.
When trouble overwhelms me, it's then my nerves may fray,
that's when I need to take the time to simply sit and pray.
Reflecting on God's many gifts, it makes me so aware,
of all the joy in little things around me everywhere!
I must try to remember though problems come my way,
not to miss the joyful things and the beauty of the day!
