Rejoice in the Lord

Phil 4:4 "Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again Rejoice."

Paul is in chains, in prison, far from any family, but he continues to write to churches throughout Asia sharing the gospel, and he instructs them to Rejoice, always.

The more I think of rejoicing always - the more challenging I find it.   I see death and dying each day, and it isn't always easy to rejoice in those situations, but sometimes patients themselves remind us to rejoice.

He is dying of cancer, he is just a kid, but he is always smiling.  When it hurts, when his blood counts are low he manages to smile and his smile is infectious.  I wish I could rejoice as easy as Wena does.   Pray for him and his family during this difficult time.
