Advent - Week 3 - Joy


Listen Later

Welcome to the third week in Advent.  The virtue I am discussing is joy. I will read some scripture that uses the word joy, quoting from: King David, Zephaniah, Elizabeth, and Mary, mother of Jesus. These passages  help us get a more rounded view of the word, “joy”. This is not an easy virtue to take hold of, but is hard won through suffering, pain, and sometimes sorrow. Like any journey with God, it is always worth it.


Ponderings:

  • If I would make a choice to chose joy twice a day, what would that look like?
  • Can I choose joy over my body’s messages? Hunger, pain, exhaustion, etc…?
  • What would I need to change to have the time to relax, focus on God and accept His gifts?
  • We are 3/4 the way through Advent, what makes this year different than last year?
