God is delighted.  God is enamored.  All of life sings of the beauty of love because all of life is a part of love.  God did not create anything outside of who and what God is.  The joy of life is experienced by seeking to find the love that is present.  In every moment we take a breath an element of energy is renewed and the world keeps going for one more breath. How beautifully joyous is that? We lose sight of the joy in our lives because we lose sight of the elements of our lives for which to be grateful.  The quickest way to return to joy when we get off course is to take on the lens of gratitude. Gratitude brings us to what is in the present and a level of appreciation and acceptance.  It doesn’t mean being happy all the time.   Joy is something deeper than happiness.  Joy is a sustaining characteristic that is present reminding us that no matter what happens God will never stop being the essence of love.  Nothing we do, have done or will do can undo God.  There is joy in being present to that idea.  Sometimes when I feel a lack of joy or reasons to be joyful I will look at my hands.  I see the intricate lines across the top, the way the bed of nails grow from the skin, how they grasp and hold on to things, and what they tell me about the world through my sense of touch. These things that are at the ends of my body on each side are miraculous and I had nothing to do with creating them.  God wanted me to know the joy of being able to grab on to things and heighten my world with my sense of touch.  My prayer for us is a willingness to find something to be marvelously grateful for to guide us back to a state of joy today.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
