The greatest joy, in this world, is to share it.
Distractions are many in this world. We can spend out limited time fretting over what is to come of us, not planning for the future, rather languishing in the pit we have dug for ourselves. Conversely, we can be consumed by greed and work untold hours , neglecting friends and family with only the reward of a paycheck or possible status in our sights. But what happens to the soul when left unused, it starts to shrivel and die , like a muscle left to atrophy for lack of being flexed. We must, above all things, find a balance - " To everything there is a season under heaven ". Not only must we nourish the body but also that of the soul . To take time to reflect , rejoice and spread the joy that comes from a life that is centered and healthy. To take the light that comes from within, given to us from our creator and just offer it up to those in need. It's not much , but then again it is everything. No huge jesters needed - just love , the rest will come , opportunities will present themselves - the light within you will be multiplied. Love, like light cannot be contained in a vacuum - it has to bounce around and make everything just a bit brighter.
