Happiness is a choice…

As a stay at home mum I get to spend most of my day with the kids. I have a 3year old son and a 17month old daughter. Typical of kids their age, they throw tantrums, mess up themselves and the house I had taken time to clean and were generally a handful for me. I resented staying at home and wanted to be a career woman like some friends I knew. I thought that would make me happy. I ventured out and started a small business that took me out of the house as early as 7a.m and brought me back home around 9pm everyday. My husband works nine to five so we got home almost at the same time, tired and worn-out from the hassles of the day. I had little patience with the kids. While they craved for attention and affection from me I was in a hurry to cook dinner and get them ready for bed so that I could have some rest. Suddenly I had no time to catch a nap or sit for 5mins without having something or someone screaming for attention. I started becoming resentful again and started craving for something else to make me happy.
Then I had an encounter with someone who told me about Jesus. How he died for me, and loves me, and gives everyone a ministry. She made me understand that there was a set time for everything. For now my ministry was my kids, they were little now but would not always be so; she told me so many things that set me free. She taught me how to go to God in prayer to renew my soul. She asked if I would accept Jesus in my life so he could be my lord and personal savior, as I nodded my head, I began to cry and it began to rain. The rain washed me clean, I was drenched but I was free at last.
As human beings there will always be just one more thing we seek to make our joy complete but we do not have to wait for all the conditions in our life to be right before we can be happy. We can choose to be happy with who we are and what we have right now. What will your choice be?
