Your Question:
How do we find joy in everyday moments when love is present?
Answer:
As I reflect on how to find joy in everyday moments when love is present, I'm reminded of the importance of appreciation and gratitude. My wife, Susan, and I have been married for 19 years, and I've come to realize that it's the small moments we share together that bring us the most joy. Whether it's a quiet dinner at home or a family outing, we make it a point to cherish each other's company and show our love and appreciation for one another. One of the ways we cultivate joy in our relationship is by focusing on the things that bring us happiness together. My wife and I have different interests, but we make an effort to support and enjoy each other's passions. For example, she loves reading science fiction novels, and I love playing chess. By embracing each other's interests and sharing in each other's joys, we create a double delight of joy that brings us closer together. As a pastor, I'm also reminded of the importance of gratitude and joy in our relationship with God. When we focus on God's love and goodness, we can't help but feel joy and appreciation for the blessings in our lives. My son, Joshua, and daughter, Rebecca, are a blessing to our family, and we make it a point to tell them often how much we love them and why. By sharing in each other's joys and focusing on God's love, we can find joy in everyday moments and cultivate a deeper sense of love and appreciation for one another.
