Being able to see how much the younger ones enjoy so many aspects of life in such a jubilant manner bring joy to us. They and those of any age who are young in heart are a good example for all of us, about seeing the delight and pleasure in the very small and simple occurrences of life. Of course, there are many things that we face and hear about that can most certainly drain joy from us. Things that we should be aware of, pray for, and do our part to correct or improve the situation.
However, looking for joy in the small things of life like our young grandchildren, and those who are young in heart, help all of us handle the more challenging aspects of life. You may not be able to be around young people like our grandchildren, but I pray that you are able to find joy in life’s little pleasures, in people, and situations around you, and in God’s creation with all of its beauty and wonder.
Blessings on your life journey and in finding joy in the day to day events of your life! Peace, Vernon T.
