I love diving into the hymns for Sunday because they are so full of life!
So full of hope. And I need these reminders in my life.
Resurrection Troparion Hymn Tone 6
This hymn tells a story. I love it.
Today is sunny and bright, crisp and cold. Filled with hope I rise and get ready for the day. Not all days are like this. Some days the storms blow through, but I cling to this hope I am reminded of each and every week.
He has captured hell. He has trampled death. He is risen from the dead! He fills me with His strength and leads me on.
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?
