I'm using the verb portion of the definition... TO TAKE great pleasure or joy... TO GIVE great pleasure or joy...
I choose whether or not to delight in my circumstances. I make a conscious decision every day if I will delight in the things I do. And even more than that, when I am delighted, I can gladly share that delight with those around me. You can only share what you yourself possess.
Therefore... I give to you my one little word for 2011... delight.
Don't worry... I'm still a huge fan of New Year's Resolutions... and I definitely have a few. But they all center around this simple word. And I thought, maybe... just maybe, by choosing one little word for the year of 2011, this might help to keep me focused on those pesky little resolutions...
Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart...
