A Message From Judy
May 2026 Newsletter
Someone once asked Mother Teresa what the job description was for anyone who might wish to work alongside her in the grimy streets and narrow alleys of Calcutta. Without hesitation she mentioned only two things: the desire to work hard and a joyful attitude. It is hard to find these qualities in people these days. The second is much rarer than the first. Diligence may be difficult to find but compared to an attitude of genuine joy, hard work is commonplace.
Unfortunately, our fast paced affluent culture seems to have lost its spirit of fun and laughter. Recently my piano student at North Hennepin told me that what amazes him the most about Americans is their lack of laughter. So I aim to make him laugh at least once during his lesson each week. It’s working……
Just look around. Bad news, long faces, and heavy hearts are everywhere even in houses of worship. Imagine that!!! Joy, “the gigantic secret of the Christian” is conspicuous by its absence. A good sense of humor enlivens our discernment and guards us from taking everything that comes down the pike too seriously. By remaining lighthearted, by refusing to allow our intensity to gain the mastery of our minds, we remain much more objective. People who live above their circumstances usually possess a well-developed sense of humor.
I encourage you to come to church each week and sing the hymns with joy and enthusiasm. Follow my lead as I am playing each prelude. If it is light hearted and “fun”….sing out with joy and fun!!! I promise you I will respond with introductions and harmonizations that will uplift your heart and soul.
Soli Deo Gloria!!
