Today we are camping. Annually, we do a family camping trip on Fourth of July weekend with hubby’s family.
As many know, I love camping. It brings me out into God’s beautiful creation, face to face. It is a much needed reminder that we truly do live in an altar.
We always need to be reminded.
Today is also Sunday and the beauty of Sundays is the reminder of the Resurrection.
Here is your Resurrection reminder for this Sunday. Sung last night at vespers…
Stichera hymn at Lord I have Cried.
So grateful for His beautiful creation to help me remember to stay focused on all that is needed.
I am an Orthodox Christian, a deacon’s wife, a mother, and an aspiring Kindler of Joy.
I believe I’ve begun to understand (finally), by the grace of God, where we can begin to find happiness. True happiness. My heart longs for a deeper connection to those around me and to creation. I want to feel joy not only in myself but to see it on the face of people I love and those that God brings my way.
Thus, begins my journey to become a Kindler of Joy. It is a journey, a path of learning and growing. So I’ve created my blog as a reminder to myself, daily, to open my eyes and find the beauty and joy around me. I long to share this joy, to spread this joy and to inspire others to become Kindlers of Joy. When we kindle joy in others we spread a light throughout this dark world. A light that is desperately needed.
Won't you join me in spreading this light, this joy?
