Faith for a Happy Life

As the song goes, "Don't worry. Be happy." 

 Have Faith . . .

Dont Worry, Be Happy

You learn what you often try to do.

Worrying a lot these days? Then expect that day after day you are learning how to worry even better. Practice makes perfect right?

  

Why not try doing something else? . . . something you really want to learn and excel in. Learn to be happy, despite the circumstances.  Every moment you are happy, you are learning how to be even happier. 

Every time you act on something, you are learning how to make that action even better. What is it that you've been learning today? What is it that you want to learn tomorrow?

Rejoice Always

Philippians 4:4-9

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 

  

Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.

 

Prayer is Joy

Prayer is joy,

prayer is love,

prayer is peace.

You cannot explain it,

you must experience it.

It is not impossible.

God gives it for the asking

"Ask and you shall receive."

The father knows what to give to his children,

how much more the Heavenly Father knows.

Mother Teresa

Man Has A Soul

I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things.

William Cuthbert Faulkner was an American novelist and poet whose works feature his native state of Mississippi. He was regarded as one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century and was awarded the 1949 Nobel Prize for Literature.
