Happy is what you make it, always has been always will be. You and I can sit around discussing and deciding on all the reasons to be unhappy, it's easy to do, they're abundant. You will find strife and hardship are plentiful in this life. But, don't you love the but, this is not our only life. We as Christians are just traveling through this world. We have a promise of a greater much more rewarding life beyond anything we can imagine. I always tell my patients when we are working out, can you do five more minutes? C'mon, we can do anything for five minutes. And most of the time they can. Because they have hope that this is temporary. Friends, this is temporary. This is preparation for the big game. For an eternity spent in the arms of the lover of our souls! That's good y'all!
So now, I know what you're saying, sounds great but we're not there, we're here. True. Now what will you do with here? Will you focus on you? Take a million selfies and wait for the compliments to roll in. Say I want a better house, a nicer car, a better class of friends. I'll be happy when I get all these things! Or will you take some time right now right in this moment to say I believe I'll be happy right where God has me. Yep it's as easy and as hard as a decision to say I'm here May as well be joyful and do something good. Because guess what? The compliments, the house, the better car, and the so called better class of people may never come, and..... Then..... What? You missed your shot at being happy right where you are. Boo, that makes me sad even to write it. How bad would that be to get to the end of all this amazing life and say I missed the joy looking for the more?
So today, ask God to open your eyes and heart to all the joy around you. All the blessings he's already given you. I don't know what all your blessings are, but I know you are blessed. You may have to stop complaining, or God forbid lay down an old hurt, so that you can move to better place to get a better view of all the funny happy silly things our Father has for you! Go out and find your happy. It's there! Our God ensures blessings on those he loves, but if you're looking down at all Satan has for you instead of up at all God is and does you'll miss it!
May God bless and keep you, Ms. Jill
