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!

Ahh, Laura, how this very topic has been close to my own heart. I recently had to chide myself for taking for granted what I have been given. I am always looking for ways to earn money to help out with the household, so we can have just a bit more. Why?? Financially the Lord has provided us with all we need and so much more. Materially we are plenty taken care of and of course we have our salvation, who needs more than that? My sweet friend, how wonderful it is to be reminded of how selfish our desires can become, and how we should be better stewards of the time we are given. Our earthly works will burn up, it is those eternal rewards we should strive for daily.
