Thoughtful Thursday & Joy

During the Christmas season we often hear the world  joy . Have you ever wondered what the word  joy  means? In Greek, there are three words that are all share the same root xar-. xairó - “rejoice”, “glad for grace”) xará - “joy” xáris - “grace” Therefore, they share the same core meaning. To delight in God’s grace. To experience God’s grace or favor. To be conscious of or glad for His grace. Joy  is an invitation to be present with and aware of the divine grace of our Savior, Jesus Christ. To delight, experience, and be conscious of the strength, love, and mercy He offers. He offers it to all. To me. To you. Because He loves us. May you have a Merry Christmas and a  Joy ful New Year!
