We lit the candle of joy this past Sunday. But joy is hard. It's scary stuff. It's what parents feel as they anticipate the birth of a child. That feeling of joy and yet foreboding -- what if something goes wrong? One of the lessons of Advent and Christmas is that we are all parents -- waiting to give birth to the holy. But can we let ourselves feel the joy in that?
If you haven't discovered the work of Dr. Brene Brown, here is a little joy for your Advent meditation. Brene Brown and Oprah talk about joy, and how to cultivate it in your life. If you are familiar with Brene Brown's work, it will come as no surprise that it's all about vulnerability and gratitude. Just click on the link below:
