Joy

I've been thinking about joy this week.  One of the hallmarks of Easter is supposed to be joy.  Joy that Christ has risen, joy that we no longer need to fear death, joy in the renewal of life, joy.

It seems to me that it is hard for us to hold on to joy.  We so rarely seem to find it.

I was thinking about the little kids running around at the Easter Egg hunt on Holy Saturday

There is little to match the pure joy of small children running around in the sun.  I wish I could capture a little of that kind of joy more often. 

So, maybe for the Great 50 days of Easter we could seek a little more joy in our daily lives.
