Happyness one word ? Okay maybe two . . . . Funnel Cake

The Fair is here!! Actually I am not that fond of fairs the lines the prices and the crowds. But I will gather my strength and brave the crowds for a heavenly confection that is always served at fairs. Yes, you guessed it the Funnel Cake. Before I go on about my love of the funnel cake I will give you a little history on it. Funnel cakes are a german treat originating from the Pennsylvania dutch and was introduced to the fair around 1949 and were sold for around .25 cents . Funnel Cakes are made by pouring batter through a funnel in a circular motion into hot oil and then deep fried. Once done they are covered with powdered sugar,jams or other toppings. I always knew I loved Pennsylvania two of my greatest loves came from there,my husband and Funnel Cakes!!! My grandmother introduced me to my first funnel cake , and I have been under the spell of their temptation from that day forward. The fair is this week. And yes I will go ,if only for the time it takes to grab my funnel cake and run. So if you are at the fair and you see a streak of powdered sugar fly by it is probably me jetting my way out of the crowds with a huge smile on my face. Ahh powdered sugar coated Happyness.

How?

How can I be so happy ? I have been given the greatest gift that can ever be gifted. I have accepted that I am not perfect that I am sinner and no matter what earthly accomplishments I conquer I cannot atone for my sins , and that my Savior Jesus Christ already has covered my sins for me. So through the repentance of my sins and the placing of my faith in Him I have nothing to be unhappy for. That same Savior provided a blessing in my husband Jeff. Jeff is the most loving, selfless, kind, and caring man I have ever loved. I recently found myself neglecting Jeff in some ways, you know how we all get so busy with work and life in general. You find yourself getting distant from the one you love..... after all there is no time! no time! we must work work work make money right! Wrong! After all what is money when you are unhappy. I would much rather be poor and enjoy a simple life. I may not have a big career , a college degree or a big bank account but I am happy. And I am certain if I live my life with joy and gratefulness for the things God has provided for me then my life will be worth far more than the worlds view of success. Yes ahh yes I am Happy!
