Joy isn’t the absence of weariness—it’s the presence of God.

I don’t know about you, but some days joy feels easy. The sun is shining, the coffee is hot, and the kids are actually getting along. (A miracle in itself.)

But other days? Joy feels like a choice I have to fight for. Not because I don’t love my life. Not because I’m not grateful. But because weariness is real.

If you’re there too, I want to gently remind you: Joy and weariness can coexist. And you can cultivate joy right where you are.
