HAPPINESS IS...

in pleasure

"Lord Byron lived a life of pleasure and ease.

He wrote:

'The worm, the canker and grief are mine alone.'"

Well perhaps in political Power.

"William Tweed became the brilliant boss

of Tammany Hall and ruled New York City,

He said: 'My life has been a failure in everything.'"

Possibly in military strength.

"Alexander the Great conquered the known

world of his day.  Then he wept:

'There are no more worlds to conquer.'"

How about atheism and a total disregard

for God Almighty?

"Voltaire was a world-class unbeliever.

He wrote:

'I wish I had never been born.'"

Well, then Fame and Position.

"Lord Beaconsfield enjoyed more than

his share of both.  He wrote:

"Youth is a mistake; manhood a struggle;

old age a regret.'

Then happiness certainly must be in money.

"Jay Gould, the American millionaire,

had an enormous fortune.  When dying,

he said, 'I suppose I am the most miserable

man on earth.'"

But Jesus Christ said,

"Happy are those whose

greatest desire is to do

what God requires;

God will satisfy them fully!"

(Matthew 5:6 GNT)
