Joy to the world! The
Lord is come: let earth receive her king;
Let every heart
prepare him room, and heaven and nature sing.
With “Joy to the world”
in my heart and mind, I’m looking each of these twelve days of Christmas for
the beauty and wonder in God’s world, for instances of the joy that runs
through all of creation.
During a conversation with my spiritual director this evening,
I happened to look over at the window just as the sun was setting and saw this
sky. We were both amazed at the colors:
red, purple, and blue. We wondered at the beauty of the sky; the joy was in the
surprise of looking up at just the right moment to see such beauty, and in
having another person with which to share it.
