Rejoice is such a simple word and yet it has such a powerful meaning. What is it that we want? To rejoice or to be upset? If we start by looking at a rose and admiring its beauty, its color and its fragrance, we feel so good. Our heart lightens up. Conversely, we pluck a rose and get pricked by its thorns, we are cross or angry. Read what is said by Abraham Lincoln.

We can complain because rose bushes have thorns or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.

A rejoicing heart soon makes a praising tongue. – Charles Spurgeon

When you cannot rejoice in feelings, circumstances or conditions, rejoice in the Lord. . A B Simpson

All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child. – Marie Curie

True happiness is to rejoice in the truth, for to rejoice in the truth is to rejoice in You, O God, who are the truth… those who think that there is another kind of happiness look for elsewhere, but theirs is not true joy. – Saint Augustine

Hope fills the afflicted soul with such inward joy and consolation, that it can laugh while tears are in the eye, sigh and sing all in a breath; it is called, the ‘rejoicing of hope’.  – (Hebrew 3:6) William Gurnail

Pause and read.

Dear ones, these are difficult times for all of us. What can we do? We can have hope in our hearts and look at the beauty of the light within our hearts. Our hearts are the home of our soul and of the Mother Goddess. Therefore, rejoice with your awareness.
