Wishing you an abundance of Joy.....

"I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love."-Eph.4:1-2NIV

"Give generously, for your gifts will return to you later."-Ecc.11:1NLT

"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."-Matt.5:9KJV

"The fountain of beauty is the heart, and every generous thought illustrates the walls of your chamber."-Francis Quarles

"The surest way to be happy, is to seek happiness for others."-M.L.K. Jr.

"Try to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three-thousand-six hundred and fifty persons happy, or brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment."-Sydney Smith

"She has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much."-Bessie Anderson Stanley

If we ourselves strive to be happy...what is our happiness worth in a miserable world? How can you enjoy life if everything/everyone around you is miserable? You can't. God did not intend for us to be selfish, even with joy. We must seek happiness for others, if for no other reason than to be free to enjoy our own happiness. Help someone else feel happy. Not just today, but every day. Make it a point to brighten someone else's day and you can be sure that your own level of happiness will increase dramatically. We are not in this world alone, so it is not enough for us to simply focus on ourselves and our own happiness. To improve the world, you must help others to grow and be happy as well. Acknowledge the importance of others just as you want your own importance to be acknowledged. Pour out love abundantly and you will never be without it.

God Bless and Be a Blessing to Others:)
