Sorrow and Joy
Sorrow and Joy are opposites. Each needs the other without the slightest hint. How can one know Joy without Sorrow or Sorrow without Joy. Joy is an expression of excitement, happiness and delight. Sorrow is an expression of loss, tragedy and pity. Death brings Sorrow and Life brings Joy. Sorrow can be negative were as Joy can be positive.
Life lately has been marked with Sorrow. Loved ones passing on. Friends and Family weeping for that life. One can only wonder, what is to come of it all? Will there every be hope and Joy again? As a great man once said, "take Joy in the little things." In life 99% of things are positive and 1% are negative, so why dweal on the negative, if life is majority postive.
"Rejoice and again I say rejoice"
Enjoying Life and the happy moments is what gets me through the day. I rejoice for the memories I had with those loved ones. I rarely get to see my sister, whom I love dearly. I do not go through my day wishing she was home again and sharing things with me, I rejoice for she is my sister and stifes to be with me all that she can. It is hard but worth every moment, even if we fight.
I just celebrated my 18th birthday. A big step in my life. I have seen a great variety of emotions and situations but do not dweal on things that will pull me down. I have friends, who care for me, a Boyfriend who loves me, family who protects me and my GOD who sees after my well being no matter what happens. I take pride in knowing everyday is a new step in the right direction. No matter what happens it is my job to take the bad as well as the good. I entrust to you to do the same. Live a life filled with sacrifice and Joy. Only God knows what is on your heart but to him you must go to truely rejoice in Joy.

Hmmm...Very powerful words....How true indeed...
One note: I believe your quote was slightly off. Philippians 4:4 says, "Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice."
Just thought I'd toss that in there for ya as my two cents' worth...
