Joy in My Heart {Printable}

{source}

Did any of you sing that song when you were a child called "Down In My Heart?" Sometimes it's called "I've got the Joy." It was written by a Pastor named George Willis Cooke, I believe it was written in the 1800's.   The lyrics go like this:

I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy

Down in my heart

Down in my heart

Down in my heart

I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy

Down in my heart 

Down in my heart to stay

And I'm so happy

So very happy 

I've got the love of Jesus in my heart

And I'm so happy

So very happy 

I've got the love of Jesus in my heart

To give you a little more perspective and if you have a quick minute, click {here} to hear how this cute little song goes.  Singing this song as a child brought me great {joy}.  I still bounce to the beat at the ripe age of 37 when I sing it or hear it to this day.  It's such a catchy-happy song {smile}.

Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of life, we lose sight of what brings us joy -- or what should bring us joy.  We worry about all that is going on around us and find ourselves overwhelmed, flustered or just too busy to take some time to unwind, laugh or find that little slice of joy!  I'd like to encourage you to take some time to find 'joy' in the little things.  You saved $10 in coupons when buying groceries last week?  Woot! You got an e-mail from a friend you haven't heard from in a while?  Yee-haw.  Let's challenge ourselves to find joy in the everyday things -- the little things, the silly things.  I tend to keep things in perspective by saying, "The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow." 

So, where will you find your joy today?  

Here's a printable for you to print, hang or share with a friend.

Wishing you a day filled with joy unspeakable!
Come party with me {here}!
