The ABCs of God's Goodness: J

Joyful.

Today I was reading The Life You Always Wanted and started a chapter called "Dee Dah Day". The author described a dance that his youngest daughter does throughout the day when she is happy-- called the Dee Dah Day dance. She runs around in circles single "dee dah day dee dah day". How beautiful. He then talked about how sometimes he interrupts her joyfulness for no good reason other than to hurry her downstairs or out of the tub. He admits that it is because of his anxiousness to always be on the move that he interrupts his daughters joy.

He admits this is wrong, because God created us to be joyful-- just as He is. He made this world and all that is in it and declared that it was indeed good. He made us to jump and down for joy and He does so with us each time we rejoice.

So rejoice and be glad, I say it again-- rejoice.
