Rejoice? Your choice!

 As most of you probably know by now, my middle name is Joy. All of my siblings have the middle name of Joy. My mom has the middle name of Joy. My Grandma's name is Joyce. You could say we have a lot of joy running through our household.

It's not always easy to rejoice constantly. Sometimes, it's a struggle. When money is sparse, when food is low, when evil seems to be winning over this world...it seems hopeless. Lost. Pointless. And that's when you have to decide if you're going to focus on everything God has given you and rejoice in that, or ignore God's blessings and, instead, focus on whining. Philippians 4:4 says, "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!" Are you going to make the choice to rejoice?
