Regardless...re-joice

One of my daily affirmations is: I will rejoice regardless of my circumstances. I have been believing and affirming this phrase for over 2 years and last week I saw the manifestation of it.
On Valentine’s Day 2021, winter happened in the Dallas area like I had never seen before. The temperature dropped to zero with an average real feel of -16 degrees. If you have read my first book, Seasons of Life: Changed in the Process, then you know that I am not a big fan of winter. Even though I prefer other seasons compared to winter, I have grown to love the benefits of winter.
During last week, a spirit of gratitude radiated from within me. There were many people across the Southern States (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi) without electricity, heat, water, food, shelter, and more. I thank God that my household did not go without electricity, heat, or food. There were about 3 days we did not have water because of four water pipes that burst. The pipes were repaired and water has been working properly. In the midst of the external circumstances, I rejoiced. I had a positive mindset that all would work out well for me. Yes, I grieved for others as they experienced adverse situations. And I believe that as I grieved for others, my rejoice was strengthened even more.
Regardless of what you are experiencing in your life right now, I encourage you to rejoice. Affirmations can help you re-joice and re-focus. An affirmation is a public declaration of belief to uplift emotionally and spiritually. What we think or believe in is reflected in our speech which is reflected in our atmosphere.
If you do not have an affirmation, set aside 5 minutes today to create an affirmation. Or if you so desire, you can use a scripture, quote, or an affirmation you have seen from someone else.
