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 our hearts and minds, I invite you to join me in looking each of
these twelve days for instances of the joy that runs through all of creation,
especially through experiencing the beauty and wonder of God’s world.
January robins are always a treat. A whole flock of them
appeared near our house this morning. The temperature was 10°, the wind chill
was -5°, and there was a covering of fresh snow that had fallen during the
night. And suddenly there were robins
singing (and a bluejay squawking), just like they do on warm mornings in
springtime.
Joy to the world! The
Savior reigns; let us our songs employ, while fields and floods, rocks, hills,
and plains, repeat the sounding joy.
