Somehow from somewhere, another piece materializes from almost nowhere and then another and before long you are sitting in the midst of God’s colorful abundance that brings you multiplying joy.”
Joy to the World– Message Only – Listen as Rev. Larrye-Marie Heyl, spiritual leader of Center for Spiritual Living Southeast Louisiana provides a message on “Joy to the World,” which is a matter of knowing the love and the light that you are in the world and spreading that joy of remembrance. She speaks of both Hanukkah and Christmas and invites us into a sacred space of joy, remembrance, and renewal. And, though unique in tradition, both share a profound spiritual theme: the triumph of light over darkness, hope over despair, and love over fear. She reflects on the radiant presence of joy — not as a fleeting emotion but as a deep, abiding state of being. Mother Teresa tells us:
“ Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.”
Imagine how much impact this community can have if we each chose to spread joy to the world every day of our lives.
