Joy

This is our cute Larson family circa 1979...This photo is so cute because it shows everyone's common expressions. I was watching Carlen be funny, Kerry was encouraging Cami's sillyness and Michael was just fascinated by the camera. Mom and Dad looked happy and not too overwhelmed by 5 kids! LOL.

We recently re-watched "Bucket List" with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. (Thanks for the fun night out Ashley and Wendell!) and I was struck by the two Life Questions posed by Morgan Freeman's character to Jack Nicholson's about the measure of one's life.

Have you found Joy in your life?

Have you brought Joy to others?

These are deep, important questions that I tend to lose sight of in my day to day life. Right now I am feeling very joyful. (Maybe because we leave for vacation in 4 days and I finished work yestderday and don't have to go back for 17 days!) I also pray that I do bring Joy to others.
