Gladness and joy

I had a Bible concordance out this morning, looking up the word gladness. There is quite a lot of gladness in the book of Esther! For example, this stirring passage:

My dictionary tells me that glad means
1. feeling joy or pleasure; delighted, pleased e.g. glad about the good news
2. accompanied by or causing joy or pleasure e.g. glad tidings
3. characterized by or showing cheerfulness, joy, or pleasure
4. very willing

Have a glad day today.
