Great Joy

Luke 2:10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great JOY that will be for all the people.
******************************
The shepherds stood in awe to see an angel shining in the sky. The message was one a great JOY. Not just happiness. Not just joy. Great joy.

I didn't think the month of December would be all that daunting or hectic this year. But here on December 17th I feel exhausted and behind on my to-do list. Yesterday I was an absolute pill around the house. I prayed to find some peace and joy in the midst of it all. I don't want to miss the spiritual wonder of Christmas.

Give me a piece of that joy, Lord. Great joy.
