Rain, congratulations on your four year anniversary. I sincerely hope you have many, many more. Your beautiful post makes me realize just how important our children and grandchildren are to us. We need to tell them more often.
While driving home from our log cabin at the lake this afternoon I noticed a bumper sticker that read "Don't Postpone Joy." It also made me realize how often we get through each day planning what we will do next. Our to-do lists fill up rather quickly-- always thinking of tomorrow instead of today.
Joy is found in small, minute things-- soft rain, gently falling snow,the beautiful flowers that are now blooming, the smile on a child's face, the light in their eyes, and the enduring quality of true friends--not in great achievement.
I've read that the medical profession reports that people with joy in their lives desire to live longer fuller lives.
I've come to understand that "Joy" is a gift from God. We must open our hearts to receive this special offering.
Rain, it sounds like you have found that special "joy."
