Cheer up pup!

A good friend of mine used to always be able to cheer me up, with the simple words of, 'Cheer up pup!' The beaming smirk coming from there face was irresistible and made me laugh every time. I tried to fight it off but with all my strength I was never able to stay in a grumpy mood. This came to my mind today as I try to seek Jesus' smirk to overcome this grumpy mood I have been in for way to long. Everything seems to be pushing the wrong buttons and I can't seem to find a way out. I search and search and I pray for direction and strength to overcome this period of my life.
