Dealin' with Feelin'Sample

Sometimes everyone feels GLAD—happy, excited, thankful, delighted, or surprised! If you’re happy and you know it, God wants us to show it. Joy is contagious. We can help others overcome negative emotions by sharing our gladness with them.

Showing that we know that God is the reason for the gladness we are feeling is called rejoicing. When we feel glad, the right thing to do is to rejoice. This can mean smiling calmly and quietly feeling happy. It can mean shouting and dancing. It can be any way we demonstrate joyful feelings.

Rejoicing is like glowing in the dark. Not only is it fun to feel, it brings light and joy to others too. Say this out loud, “When I feel GLAD, it’s because of all God has given!”
