Being vindicated for my beliefs that i use to be ridiculed for,i know that it is petty but pretty much all of my adult life ive been laughed at and told that im mentally disabled because i dont have the same priorities as most.

Like owning a motor vehicle,dating,and aspiring to be rich and doing everything in my power to meet that end.none of these things were ever necessary for me.
 
But seeing as how it is the end of the world the same people that ridiculed me are now like "oh gee i guess that he was right".
 
Regardless of what I am currently going through when I remember the things God has brought me through it makes me rejoice. Some of my past circumstances I thought I would not have survived them.
 
That feeling of inner peace.

A feeling no teacher, preacher, professor, doctor, cop, forum, Facebook, PETA, Hollywood producer, goofy cause group, dog or cat can take away from me.
 
Many promises in scriptures cause me to rejoice, but they do not compare with being in the presence of Christ. When He ministers to me personally.

That the Lord has had mercy on me and saved me from the pit of hell through what Jesus did on the cross, and that God calls me his own. I like to rejoice through singing.
 
HOPE! No matter what happens, or what a person has done, we have hope. Christianity is the only faith that gives hope to the hopeless. Christ Himself said he did not come for the good- no matter how degraded we are, we have hope.

Knowing that I am saved and we have a God filled with compassion,justice,and mercy . The list can go on and break the internet.
Also God in His infinite wisdom has given us His word in the Bible that everyday we can open it and learn something new.

I love the days when I find out "how this is going to work out."

We get a foreclosure notice, but there is no way to keep up with our mortgage in time. Eight weeks, later, God gives us a way to keep our house, (and we still didn't have money to pay the mortgage.)

If hubby doesn't get his shot of chemo, in Week 7 of a 24 week regiment that's kicking his butt, he's going to have to start all over. The drugs come in the mail, but it's the Christmas season, so lots of mail coming for everyone. 7 AM Christmas Eve, Fed Ex rings our door bell. The delivery driver laughs at how important that must be to get him there at that hour.

Hubby has a massive heart attack, and he's in such bad shape even he hears, while semi conscious, a guy rolling him down the hallway on the gurney saying, "this one won't make it." He's in such rough shape, they can't even do the surgery to repair his heart for 31 days. By the time he is woken from all the sedatives, he can only lift one arm a bit. The internet says that anyone stuck in ICU for over a month is very likely to be dead in half a year to a year later, even if they get out of ICU, and he was in ICU for two months. Seven months later, he's finally able to come home, but still faced a whole series of doctor appointments, and we're both wondering if he's going to die at any moment. Last Wednesday, we finally found out there is no expiration date stamped on him again. For the first time in two years, I have more doctor appointments scheduled than he does. lol

And, because we were both disabled for oh so long, our house looks a bit worse than anyone can imagine. I did the math. It would cost us twice what we paid to buy this house, (and we still have the mortgage), to fix this house. And far more energy required to make it look like a house again. We have been praying for the last 17 years that our windows do not fall out. That bad. And tomorrow we get to see God working in action. PennEd and his friends are coming over to get us sorted.

I just love the joy of finding out how God is going to work this one out all the time. It may take weeks, months, or years, but he does sort it as needed, and he is never late in sorting it.
 
I rejoice in the fact that touch-me-not flowers are a thing.

Yes. One of God's true masterpieces! ;)
 
I rejoice because GOD ALMIGHTY have saved me and called me with a HOLY Calling not in virtue of my work but in virtue of HIS own purpose.
I rejoice because my Name is Written in Heaven.
I rejoice because my Name is Written in the Book of Life.
I rejoice because JESUS CHRIST saved me.
I rejoice because JESUS CHRIST is my LORD and SAVIOR.
I rejoice because I am in CHRIST JESUS.
I rejoice because I'm born of GOD and not of the will of man nor of the will of the flesh nor of blood but of GOD.
I rejoice because JESUS is my Life, my Salvation and my Righteousness.
I rejoice because, because of JESUS CHRIST I live and without HIM, I am nothing.

The WORD OF GOD makes me rejoice everyday.
Thank YOU LORD JESUS.
