In Your presence is fullness of joy;
in Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
Psalm 16:11
I know of no greater need today than the need for joy.
Unexplainable, contagious joy. Outrageous joy.
When that kind of joy comes aboard our ship of life, it
brings things with it---like enthusiasm for life, determination to hang in
there, and a strong desire to be of encouragement to others. Such qualities
make our voyage bearable when we hit the open seas and encounter high waves of
hardship that tend to demoralize and paralyze.
There is nothing better than a joyful attitude when we face
the challenges life throws at us.
Someone once asked Mother Teresa what the job description
was for anyone who might wish to work alongside her in the grimy streets and
narrow alleys of Calcutta .
Without hesitation she mentioned only two things: the desire to work hard and a
joyful attitude.
