~~
Rejoice Always—
At a new
birth—a new life
When a
believer dies—a new home in heaven
At a
graduation—a new phase of life
At a
salvation experience—a new heart
At a
wedding—a new life together
At a
promotion—a step forward in a career
When a
neighbor moves—a bigger home, a place closer to work
When we
celebrate any of the above events we are happy for the ones who receive these
things. The one exception is when a believer dies. Friends and family miss
their loved one but they know the absent one is with God.
As believers, we should look for the hand of God in all events. It may take a lot of studying of circumstances to learn to rejoice in the Lord always.

When our son relocated because he found work, many people asked me how I felt about it. I rejoiced he found work. Jobs are scarce where we live. God heard our prayers and found him the best job for him.

Thank you for this reminder. I too, don't always remember to rejoice. I am easily swamped by circumstances sometimes. God is good all the time, and I need to go about my day with rejoicing in mind.

I thank you for your comment. After the morning I had, I went into headache mode.I was not rejoicing about having to try repeatedly to contact a person via the telephone. I also made about three calls to another lady connected to the organization I needed to contact. I finally asked the lady if could do as she offered and drop it by her home. Then the headaches began. I spent part of the afternoon reading and sleeping. I should have been rejoicing that the lady was sweet about the whole thing. Even offered some reasons why no one was available to answer my call.
