When was the last time you experienced pure joy? When was the last time you slowed down enough to experience pure joy. I think joy hides in our lives and often we miss it because we are too busy, too tired, too absorbed in something else, or too unaware.
When I spent time with my great niece and nephew last week-end I watched pure joy. Jack feels pure joy as he is held by my niece and his mother Adrienne ( in the photo at the top). I think both my sister and Jack felt joy in the photo above. I am not around small children very often. I need to be. They reminded me that pure joy can be found in
Dora the Explorer on a real TV,
a new swimsuit from grandma,
having fun with a new red ball,
Olivia helping out her cousin Jack,
learning to open the gate,
and discovering what a clothesline is for. It is all joy.... pure joy!
