A new read...

The small print reads... A Dare to Live Fully Right where you are.

I have now read three chapters and I can't think of a better advent book to read.
This last chapter was about Eucharisteo -
Charis - Grace
Eucharisteo - thanksgiving
Chara - JOY.
Really life, a full life comes from Joy which comes from thanksgiving.

Giving thanks in everything.  Gives new meaning to the scripture... in everything give thanks.
"Eucharisteo - thanksgiving - always precedes the miracle"

To enjoy this season of Christmas, what do we do?  Rush around, spend and buy, buy, buy! We all want to have the "Joy to the world" experience but how often are we left feeling flat? defeated? Disappointed?

Eucharisteo! Thanksgiving, grace and JOY!

Well, let me start right now... Thank you Lord for the gift of Joy... for the ability to find joy even when circumstances don't warrant it.  Even when the "feeling" isn't there.  I can be thankful for so much... may my eyes never become dull to the much that I have to be thankful for.

Once again, all His good works, working!
