How many of us are always...
How many of us are always happy? Aren't there times when we feel we have a right to be sad, as when we lose a dear one or when we learn of the suffering of our fellow Christians somewhere? Why should we be happy when we see in the news that Muslims have burned down a church somewhere and killed a number of Christians? I know we can be happy knowing that those who die are going to a far better place without pain and suffering, though it is hard to always be joyful. But even here it adds that we are to give thanks in all circumstances.
