Shake It Up!

So I was making chocolate milk for my three year old this morning, as I do every morning. His request is always, "don't shake it mom!" He loves to see the syrup float around the bottom of his sippy cup. Who knows why? I figure it has to be healthier for him, so I just go with it. I was thinking about how I have alot to be joyful about in my life. I have chocolate syrup flowing into my sippy cup all the time. I have a wonderful husband, a great home, two beautiful healthy boys, I only have ten pounds of baby weight left, (lol had to throw it in!) our bills are paid, we have awesome friends and we just started an anointed church! But, so many times I just leave all of my syrup floating around, not allowing it to fulfill it's purpose.

What is the purpose of chocolate milk? Well, for my son it causes much joy in his life. Like that cup of chocolate milk has made his day. He will dance like a crazy kid and sing silly songs the moment I give it to him. It's amazing what will make a child happy! Why can't we adults be more like that?

When I choose to shake up my own chocolate milk real joy will come. Their are times that you just have to stir it up and get happy. We have so much to be joyful about and yet we choose to let our joy just float on by. We focus on the negatives and not so much the positives. What would the world be without chocolate milk? If we would choose to shake it up and allow God to mix in some joy with our daily chores, how much more would we get accomplished throughout the day. How many more lives would we effect in a positive way? We would be the best tasting chocolate milk ever! So, I've decided to shake it up today and everyday for that matter. And I believe that my joy will be full!
