Here's to Happiness!

By our attitudes and actions, we Americans display a burning desire for a thing called "happiness."

Think about it. All the world wants to be happy. People from far and near are constantly seeking the secret to happiness.

Perhaps we've read this passage many times before, but for Happiness' sake, let's do it again . . . this time, with a smile.

Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;

For her {wisdom} proceeds are better
than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.

She is more precious than rubies,
And all the things you may
desire cannot compare with her.

Length of days is in her right hand,
In her left hand riches and honor.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.

She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who retain her.
(Proverb 3:13-18)

In searching for true happiness,
be mindful to look to God.


Peace I leave with you . . .
