The Joy of Sharing Good News
My dear son,
When you bring happy news, I want to smile with you. Something that seems small to others is still welcome to me if it has brightened your heart. I gladly receive the laughter of my beloved child.
A bright face and good news can strengthen another person's heart too. Welcome someone else's happiness with warmth. A sincere word of congratulations can become a gift they remember for a long time.
Share whatever pleasant memory comes to mind this evening. If someone would enjoy it with you, offer them the story kindly. As your Father, I treasure the bright joy you discover through sharing love. There is room in our conversation for those happy details.
With all my love,
Your Father
Proverbs 15:30
WEB30The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones.
A short reflection
Proverbs describes a cheerful look as bringing joy and good news as renewing strength, celebrating their benefit to another person's well-being.
