Count it all joy in all circumstances (at least at most circumstances ).

During difficult times, even the slightest things can hurt or break us. It is very difficult and makes us want to just hit the "game over!" button. But wait, if we just hold on a little longer…just a little longer, we will see joy one day. That is the time when we know the meaning of joy - truly.

If we hike up a mountain, feet tired, sweaty and muscles aching, what can we expect next?
Keep walking and we will see that the path will go downwards, sometimes without realizing it. Even if the path will go up again, we know that every going up, has a coming down until we reach the peak. Once we are at the peak, the feeling is "on top of the world" cause we have reach our destination.

I also came to know that even if our destination is the peak, we also must enjoy the journey. As we climb, there are lots of feelings we experience and lots of things we see. There are times when we will walk alone, feeling scared and lost. There are times when someone catch up with us, and we feel surprised and challenged. There are times when we catch up with a friend ahead of us, and we feel glad and happy.

Do you think life is like climbing many mountains? The more you climb, the better you are at conquering more difficult mountains…

Maybe we have waited quite a while and gone thru many trials…but remember to hang on a little longer to see joy and in all circumstances along the journey, count it all joy!
