Joy to the world.
One of my favorite Christmas ideas – we should be full of joy (joyful).
Life isn’t fair. It’s hard. It’s miserable. It’s full of suffering and hardship.
Somehow, some way – we can be joyful.
If we look for joy it can be found.
If you read stories of great suffering throughout history almost all of them (all the accounts I’ve read anyway) included moments of pure joy. It CAN be found, even in the darkest of circumstances.
Maybe it’s not there right now for you. Maybe this Christmas doesn’t feel as joyful as Christmas past. Even so, joy will meet you again – if you look for it.
Merry Christmas.
