My Dad had a poster is his office. Every time I needed something in that inner sanctum of his, I would pause and read it over. " Joy is the most infallible sign of the presence of God." -Tielhard de'Chardin (hope I remembered how to spell his name right)
I still reflect on that 30 some years later. There are so many gloomy Christians around me, often including me.
This morning I read, " Christians ought to be celebrating constantly. We ought to be preoccupied with parties, banquets, feasts, and merriment. We ought to give ourselves over to veritable orgies of joy because we have been liberated from the fear of life and the fear of death. We ought to attract people to the church quite literally by the fun there is in being a Christian." (Robert Hotchkins)
I read that a second time and then a third, decided to share it here to brighten someone's day and now I think I shall go plan a celebration for my children. We are going to celebrate the fact that death holds no fear." I challenge you all to do the same!
