Today is "Gaudete Sunday." Gaudete means rejoice in Latin. Even we were lighting an Advent candle in the wreath today it would be the rose colored one. This week we take time and reflect on the joy that the coming of the Lord brings. That the Lord came to bring joy and fullness to us all. We are called as His followers to do the same for those around us. In a season that is full of consumerism and commercialism, it is our responsibility to point people to the message of the season. It is our call to be the candy that is light in dark places.
In a season that we are trying to pack as much stuff in a few weeks as possible, we make ourselves miserable. May we show the world around us that we can have joy this time of year. Every morning this week take time and reflect of this. Ask God to give you opportunities to share the joy that He has given you.
