Well, we do exude a tremendous amount of jolly-ness. We live by the prescription of the book of Proverbs that a merry heart is good medicine, and being awe-struck by God is refreshment to the bones.
We are that couple. The one where I ask the kitties what they want on TV when we go out to eat, and my husband compromises with me and says to play music for them instead. And I jump in the car after turning on Nat King Cole's Holiday mix and say, (in September mind you), "The kitties are so excited about Christmas!!! They are running around the house to the music!!!"
We literally get giddy happy about the littlest things, like a night watching the last episode of Agatha Christie's Poirot while we have an at home date with chicken salad and Club crackers that we whipped up together. And didn't even annoy each other in the kitchen, a big feat for us ;)
Or hubby reads, "The Little Blue Truck" for the kitties and the grand kids and has an entire restaurant happily mesmerized with all his sound effects of little trucks, dump trucks, and a variety of animals. "Why", I asked him, "did that capture so much attention?" "Because everyone is so hungry for any happiness they can find," He answered.
We are dying of joy thirst!
Have you heard what Jesus says? “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]
JHN 16:33
Boom! Victory! Every reason to CELEBRATE! Be undaunted! Overflowing with laughter!
