  How to Live with Joy Even when Life Is Hard  
   
  · Discover the key to viewing life as both difficult and joyful 
  · Heartfelt writing on the Psalms and science from a journalist and disability advocate who has experienced significant hardship and loss 
   
   
  We want to live with joy. But life is hard. Culture tells us to ignore the hard and focus on the positive. But science shows that actually makes us more depressed and physically ill. In her transparent, hopeful way, Jillian Benfield shows how we can live with the joy Jesus promises--not by ignoring our dark circumstances and emotions, but by practicing a truer way of living: embracing the "&" in life. 
    
  Through sharing psalms, scientific findings, journaling prompts, and personal stories of parenting children with disabilities and medical complexities, Jillian offers encouraging, practical ways we can be real about our hard things & be grateful for the good things. She shows how we can be honest about our hardships & aware of God's goodness. We can acknowledge our pain & keep our eyes open to the beauty still unfolding. We can be overwhelmed, grieving, stressed, angry, confused, and unsure & we can be grateful. 
    
  Because the truth is, life is hard & life is beautiful. True gratitude is found at this intersection & leads to the joyful, abundant life God promises--no matter what is going on around us.

  This combo explores the powerful virtues that motivate individuals to make a positive difference in the lives of others. By embracing Charity, Stewardship, and Willingness to Serve, we become agents of change, focused on compassion, selflessness, and responsibility. These virtues not only strengthen communities but also foster personal fulfillment through service.  
  Charity is the cornerstone of giving. This section delves into the transformative power of generosity and the importance of helping others without expecting anything in return. Charity is about recognizing the needs of others and responding with kindness, whether through time, resources, or love. It is the act of giving that elevates the giver and creates lasting impacts in the lives of those in need. 
  Stewardship involves responsibly managing the resources we have been entrusted with—whether they are financial, environmental, or personal. This part emphasizes the importance of taking care of the world around us, protecting what we’ve been given, and using our talents to benefit others. Stewardship is about mindful, responsible action that ensures the well-being of both current and future generations. 
  Willingness to Serve is a key element of living a life dedicated to others. This section highlights the value of choosing to serve without hesitation, embracing opportunities to make a difference wherever possible. Whether in everyday situations or through larger acts of service, a willingness to serve cultivates humility, gratitude, and compassion. 
  Together, these three virtues create a foundation for a life centered on helping others, fostering a sense of purpose, and creating a more caring, generous, and sustainable world.

  Dreams are part of common experience, yet a mystery that is little understood. Psychologists and others who are ignorant of the human being's true constitution, ranging across several subtle levels, are only groping to learn their significance. C.W.Leadbeater, an eminent clairvoyant and author of many books, explains in the manual how human consciousness funcitions when the body is asleep and how it is affected by the experiences in the physical and subtle worlds. These experiences take shape as dreams of different kinds - true, prophetic, symbolical, confused and so on. The author emphasizes the importance of mastery over thought processes and lower passions in order to respond to the influences of the true Self within. The last thoughts before going to sleep must be about pure and holy things.
