Honk to be happy. Give thanks to get joy.

Ann Voskamp tells a story today of a man who put up a sign.

Ann's words of wisdom today:

Everyone gets to decide how happy they want to be. Because everyone gets to decide how grateful they are willing to be.

Waiting till you’re happy before you give thanks, is like waiting to be healthy before you take your vitamins. Vitamins are what make you healthy. Giving thanks is what makes you happy. Giving thanks is the way we awaken to the presence of God all around us and only in His presence is fullness of joy. Giving thanks is what gets you joy.

Joy isn’t a function of what happens.

Joy is a function of what I think.

Joy is a function of how I thank.

Honk to be happy.

Give thanks to get joy.
