The Weeks of Advent - Joy (Conclusion)

Sometimes other people can say it better than I ever could. Here's a few words from others.


We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves. - Buddha

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could. - - Barbara de Angelis

We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion. - Max de Pree

Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. - Mother Teresa

If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough. - Audrey Hepburn 

Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain. - Joseph Campbell 


Do something joyous this weekend!
