This 3^rd Sunday of Advent’s theme is Joy.  Zephaniah makes plain the joy that God has over us.  Zephaniah says that God takes great delight in us and rejoices over us with singing.  Does that fit our impression of who God is?   …. Too often not.   And we may have childhood homes or homes of our older years but they will not compare with the home that we have in God, which will indeed be a place of joy.
