“The Work of Joy at the Holidays”

“…Joy is hard
and joy is worth the hard work of preparation.
Preparing oneself and setting down all the defenses
all the shoulds and could’ves,
all the should not haves and might haves.
Joy is worth the work.
You are worth the work.
You can start small:
the simple pleasure of your favorite tea,
the grand freedom of a full belly laugh.
Invite Joy to be your companion.”
(Rev. Joe Cherry)

Come to dig into the work of joy at the holidays – that joy that is not the getaway to a faraway land, but our companion in hard times; not the gifts on our list, but the beauty and delight in striving together to transform the world.
