“SO MUCH JOY!”

Some days, there is so much joy!  Not all days.  But many.

Joy in the fact that the semi-final softball game was rained out this morning.  Not that I didn’t want to play.  I just rejoice because the rainout is a fact.

Joy in weeding the flower bed with my sweetheart, even though I forgot to wear a belt, and my shorts were in constant danger of falling down.

Joy in writing a blog about mental noise.

Joy in looping Rich Mullins’ song “Calling Out Your Name.”

Joy in the breeze outside.

Joy in my puppy sleeping on my lap, as I write this post.

Joy in the goldfinch outside my study window.

Joy in having lived.

Joy in living right now.

Joy in thinking about my own death.

Joy in getting the paperwork together for donating my body to U.C. Medical.

Joy in looking forward to Heaven.

Joy in this planet.

Joy in my wife making gumbo for our dinner tonight.

Many years ago, a friend said to me, “You know, I think you have more joy than you know.”

Yes!  And now, I know!

Readers, may you be joyous today!  And may you come to enjoy your joy, and to know that you are in joy!
