Funny how we put conditions on things. I will be happy if ….
if it is a sunny day
if it is a weekend
if the people I want are present
if I get the job I want
if a family member gets saved, or healed, or does this or does that, or gives up the sin they are in, or whatever ..
if this or that happens
yet God says ..
This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it. ~ Psalms 118:24
and that says to me that conditions don’t matter,
rejoice anyway, love anyway, because HE has made, HE has given, HE has blessed, even if some days we don’t see it that way 🙂

Good post! I have a hard time rejoicing anyway, especially when my husband is mad at me. So, at night I try to write 5 positive things that happened to me that day so I can focus on that instead.
