Lovely, and pairs well with another piece I read recently about looking for 'delight' every day -- in anything and everything around us. Do this, the author says, until it becomes a habit...like seeking joy.
Big joy can be difficult to find. Little joy, not so much. Flowers are always full of joy. Hearing rain drops on a window…. Your puppy’s constant demands for attention…. The smell of pot roast in the oven filling your house…. A new post from a respected Substack pal…. The list may well be endless.
Don, thanks for sharing this. You may not believe as I do, but for me Jesus is the Light of the World and the joy of my salvation. But any time we are in need God can supply joy in "small" things - like one of your writings!

Beautiful piece. Joy is an act of resistance. I am going to hold on to that sentiment with all my heart.
Sometimes it seems as if this is the only message. It needs to be repeated over and over again. Thank you for joining the chorus.
