"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." (Abraham Lincoln)

God gave us something to be happy about, he gave us flowers to share with everybody!

“If you search the world for happiness, you may find it in the end, for the world is round and will lead you back to your door.” (Robert Brault)

So the secret to happiness is to enjoy where you are and not to want for more and more.

“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.” (Denis Waitley)

 “Happiness held is the seed; happiness shared is the flower.” (Author Unknown)

What could be more delightful then to delight your senses with God’s gifts by the hour?

“Happiness is a direction, not a place.” (Sydney J. Harris)

So set your sights on heaven and God, what could be a better direction to face?

Galatians 5:19 (The message) It is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your own way all the time: repetitive, loveless, cheap sex; a stinking accumulation of mental and emotional garbage; frenzied and joyless grabs for happiness; trinket gods; magic-show religion; paranoid loneliness; cutthroat competition; all-consuming-yet-never-satisfied wants; a brutal temper; an impotence to love or be loved; divided homes and divided lives; small-minded and lopsided pursuits; the vicious habit of depersonalizing everyone into a rival; uncontrolled and uncontrollable addictions; ugly parodies of community. I could go on. This isn't the first time I have warned you, you know. If you use your freedom this way, you will not inherit God's kingdom.

Ecclesiastes 2:26 (NIV)“To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”
