SPIRITUAL EXPLORATIONS – 315

WE ARE EXPLORING THE HEAVENLY ATTRIBUTE OF JOY

+ We are called to create and enjoy a realm of compassion, peace, justice and sustainable abundance for all.

+ The essence of heaven is joy.  Joy is the air we breathe, the ground of our meditation, the sky through which we soar . . .

-- Stephen Mitchell in Meetings with the Archangel

This was the Spirituality &Practice Spiritual Quote on 3/31/16.

+ Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

-- Marianne Williamson

This quote was offered by Spirituality & Health on 7/7/16.

+ Find the thing that stirs your heart and make room for it. Life is about the development of self to the point of unbridled joy.

-- Joan Chittister

This was the Gratefulness Word for the Day on 8/22/16.

+ Be gentle with yourself right now, right here, and feel the essence.  Joy really is everywhere.  But it takes that letting go and letting God breath after precious breath, day after precious day.  Keep practicing but don’t be hard on yourself.  As the psalmist puts it:

Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
-- Psalm 90:14

And God does indeed satisfy us breath after breath, day after day.  It is up to us to let go and let God breath after breath, day after day.

+ Spirituality & Practice offers plenty of resources on the spiritual practice of Joy. Also, there is an S&P Twelves Gallery of memes on Joy.
