Here are two small things to bring a little joy to our hearts today.  

Joy in mini miracles: Okay, maybe no miracle is mini—but let’s just call an abundance of sunflowers a mini miracle that God put exactly in our path to brighten our day. Let’s look at the phone in our hand as a mini miracle that allows us to access the scriptures in seconds. Let’s look at our child, spouse, friend, and think of all the mini miracles that led them to being in our life at exactly this moment. God is a God of miracles! How joyful is that?!  

Joy from mini moments of goodness: The world is full of snapshots of goodness to bring our hearts joy and make us smile—when we choose to see it that way. The cute baby peeking over her mother’s shoulder while we're waiting in line, the happy dog leaning his head out the car window, neighborhood kids outside riding bikes together. We can use goodness to frame our perspective and help us find more joy.
