Don't pin me with the joy label.....
>>CWG observes that there are five attributes of God:
All joyful, All loving, All accepting, All blessing, All grateful.
I find this observation highly resonant and so I tend to use it as a sort of five-tine "tuning fork" in listening to other wisdom. For example, I know that I'm a bit weak in the first tine which is why I love the effervescent joy Frederick brings here.>>
Come on Bill!!
Even "joy" isn't an attribute that I can lay claim to creating. It may reflect through all of us if we let it, but the point is that this joy "arready exists" for it's already been "created" for each one of us to freely and unconditionally receive and share with each other.
If I attempted to lay claim to ONE itty, bitty, tiny grain of this "joy- sand" then I'd be spinning, refracting and inverting the purity of what I received.
For ALL credit for everything that's good, joyful, wonderful, loving, caring, forgiving, etc. has only ONE (1) source who's our ONE Lord God in Heaven.
So God Bless you, I know this isn't your intention, but please don't assign or define or credit this joy to me.
The New England Patriots won the SuperBowl because they refused to run out on the field as individuals. They ran out there as a team - individuals transcending their individuality threading, supporting, caring, risking, sharing, being and loving as ONE (1)!!
An amazing perspective shift comes over us as we, ever so slightly, begin to assign the credits for these energies - good, bad or indifferent - to their proper source.
