"Happiness is: Not a sale or a commission. Not an economy or a budget. Not a yes or a no. Not a game winning hit or a last second touchdown. Happiness is a way of life that is inside you at all times. It helps you get over the tough times, and helps you celebrate the special times." I got this in an email that my mom had sent me today. In it, it asks you several rhetorical questions about what is holding you back from being happy. One of the main things that people often say that is one of the biggest reasons for them not being happy is the word "after." We often say "well after a new job, or after a new house, a new car...." but that's not what's really holding us back. We are holding ourselves back. We long to be happy, to have peace and to fill a void that lies deep within us, but nothing can fill that gap or void except God. Once we are His there is an amazing joy and happiness that nothing on this earth can or could ever possibly fill or compare to.
Happiness can not be bought or sold, it's not something that you find on a grocery store shelf. Maybe you can find it at the grocery store in a smile or a helping hand. When a complete stranger is walking by and offers to bring your empty cart up for you. Happiness is something that we as humans long for, all of us. We want to feel that we belong somewhere. We want to feel include and we want to more importantly feel loved. Many of us feel that we only get happiness when we have a husband, or children, a nice house, the newest car, when we are equal to the Jones'. In God there is hope, peace, love and more importantly happiness. Trust and He will lead you and make your path known to you! Stay strong and God bless....
