Just for today, in spite of everything still to be done - services not quite complete, gifts not yet wrapped, meals still unmade, errands still to run - I'm going to try to heed these words, just a tiny bit.
Rejoice over everything.
Exult. Exhilarate.
Be glad. Be delighted, elated, and bowled over with joy!
Frolic freely, hop, hope,
dance on the dare, cheer,
champion the little ones, revel in the riotous light.
Invoke God without ceasing. Pray with passion.
Whatever you do, do not quench the Spirit.
Take care not to douse or dampen the bold blaze in your depths.
Jump into life. Hold fast to it. Give thanks for everything.
For everything, even the most misshapen and misunderstood,
is the disguise of the divine.
Susan Virginia Hull
