Song of the Heart

"For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads. Wherefore, lift up thy heart and rejoice, and cleave unto the covenants which thou hast made." D & C 25:12-13

The song of the heart seems to be a rejoicing heart. A rejoicing heart could also be a heart filled with graditude and this kind of heart is a prayer that is answered with blessings. In order to ensure blessings our heart must be rejoicing or grateful. What causes me to rejoice? I rejoice in my family! Which exists eternally through temple covenants I have made. Other things that cause me to rejoice: sunrise, watching snow fall, kindness shown by one family member to another, and of course every time I recognize that my Heavenly Father is specifically mindful of me. I am most grateful when I look for His hand daily in my life.
