Rejoice always!

"Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances. This is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." [Philippians 4:4]
What is the bible passage saying to us? Is it easy?

I was chatting with our housekeeper at the clothes line the other day. We were talking about people complaining. She said, "Complaining, it is the default position." I agreed.

She then said, "If people are being positive all the time, others think that they are 'up themselves'; they have an easy life; they deserve to be taken down a peg or two."

Realizing that we were complaining , she said with enthusiasm, "But its a good world!"
