Choose Joy- Even when its hard

I am choosing joy on behalf of my husband today. His brother is a truck driver and just so happened to stop by in our little out of the way town. They haven't seen each other for quite a while. The reason I choose on behalf of my husband, is because we, his brother and I , do not under any circumstances, get along. It has always been that way, and I can't really get into details. Since my husband has had a had a series of illnesses lately, his depression has been almost unbearable. He seemed to brighten up a bit when his brother happened along. So for that I will choose to be joyful in his arrival. I know it seems unkind to be so unforgiving to someone like my brother-in-law, but there is just a lot of history. But to see my husband have a glimmer of joy to his face, I can endure and be truly joyful.
