That is the question…but the continuation of the question is…happy. To be or not to be happy? This post is in answer to the question often posed to me, “Why are you always smiling?” Enough said. John 15:11 These things have I spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. Happy Sunday.
We all see life differently whether from up close or from a distance but I think we all have the same hopes and dreams of peace, love, harmony, hope, health, happiness. Listen to how Bette Midler describes it. Happy Sunday.
In God’s garden of love, you are His forget-me-not. Happy Thursday.
Today is International Day of Happiness. Who knew this? I have been on the planet for eighty-four years and have never heard of this day. I wonder why.
Today is also the first day of Spring; another reason to be happy. Who doesn’t love to be happy? Let’s take advantage of this timely duo and have a Happy Saturday.
How many times do we miss out on a wonderful weekend because we worry about what the weather will be like. Sometimes rain, snow, or sleet is predicted and doesn’t happen. Sometimes the sun will shine and sometimes it won’t. Weathering the weekend can be as exhilarating as we choose to make it. Happy Saturday.
We never know where in the world our paths will cross another’s. Leroy “Butch” Dean entered my life in what I like to refer to as Bloggersville a few years ago. Butch “liked” and commented on one of my blogs and became a faithful follower as I did of his.
With a sense of shock I read his final blog posted on October 22nd, the title of which was “I’ve Changed My Address”. True to his faith, Butch opened his post with this paragraph…
“If you are reading this, then I have left this earthly life to be with my heavenly Father. Now I see face to face and how I wish I could share that with you. What I can share with you is God’s merciful love for you that He tells us about in John 3:16. The most significant moment in my life was accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I encourage you to accept and trust Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.”
I, along with many other bloggers, will miss Butch’s posts, “likes” and encouragement, not to mention his very strong and up front faith.
Because Butch is happily home with his heavenly Father, I can still say, Happy Saturday.
Last night I watched two hours of Celtic Thunder. This young man, Damien, was fourteen at this filming and is now twenty-seven and still singing. It was very soothing. Happy Saturday.
When it’s hard to be happy while living with chronic pain or receiving sad news, God offers this:
“I will strengthen you, I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
Happy Sunday
This morning I read this quote by the late Dr. Robert Schuller:
“At the core of every being is the desire to be happy. Happiness is a state of mind and is achieved by choice. You can be happy in any set of circumstances if you choose to be.”
Happy Saturday.
To me this song sounds happy and is the epitome of freedom. Enjoy the song and have a Happy Saturday.
