Working on the Inn-Side
Okay let’s keep on with our exploration. What room should we visit at the “inn” today? How about the room known as “joy”? (By the way, if you want to pick up on the devotional theme for the week, you can visit the archived texts for Monday and Tuesday.)
The room of joy is a room that is sometimes tough to access. Sometimes we just get too busy to sit down and enjoy the gift of life. A lot of my time is spent with persons who have experienced the loss of love through many different kinds of death or loss. The doorway to joy is slammed shut as persons deal with grief, loss and transition.
There are many, many people who are not joyful today. Most of us are not dealing with grief or loss, but we are not joyful. Can you put aside all the “stuff” you think you need to get done? Can you take some time and allow Holy Presence to flood your room of joy.
Praying that you may experience a deep and abiding joy the rest of this week.
