Joy - the fourth Sunday of Advent

Advent is as long as it can be this year with a whole week still to go. Four Sundays - four candles (no jokes please!!!) Hope, Peace, Love and now Joy.

Joy is a word not really in common usage anymore. It's meaning is hard to pin down. When do we experience joy in our lives? Is it the same as happiness? I'm not sure it is.

Whatever you understand it to mean, I hope that you all find some joy in your lives this Christmastide.
