"He who has learned to pray

has learned the greatest secret 

of a holy and happy life."  

-William Law

ANOTHER THANK YOU JESUS

I know.  This picture probably would not mean a thing 

to you.  It's just a cut up tree.  But let me explain why it 

makes me happy, happy, happy.

You see about five years ago when I was only seventy-nine

years old I came down with "Aplastic anemia".  That means

that my body quit making blood.  I hope you know, you have

to have blood to live.  And I did not remember it, but being 

as I cannot spell all these neat words like, "Aplastic" and

"anemia" I pulled out one of my "primary care physician's"

reports to see how to spell it.  It also listed me as having

"Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic chronic kidney

disease,"  what ever that is.

Yes, I had to live on other people's blood for about two

years.  That was a lot of hospital time.  But, I and a lot

of other people pray.

Back to being happy.  About four years ago if I wanted

to go down to my shop and do something, I could not even

walk it.  I would drive my truck the 150 to 200 ft. down or

back.  But God has been healing me.

The tree.  Last Friday night we had the worst storm I 

remember having here in the last forty-five years.  That

tree was blown over in the front yard.  So I decided I

wanted to get it out of the yard today.

Yep.  I cut it up as you can see, AND moved the three

truck loads of brush from it over to the burn pile all

today with time to spare.

Do you see why I am happy, happy, happy and have 

been thanking God all afternoon.

GOD'S FORMULA FOR HAPPINESS

Image courtesy of: www.Pixabay.com    

"Happy are those who reject the advice of evil 

people, who do not follow the example of sinners 

or join those who have no use for God.

Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the 

LORD, and they study it day and night.

They are like trees that grow beside a stream, that bear

 fruit at the right time, and whose leaves do not dry up.

They succeed in everything they do.

But evil people are not like this at all; they are 

like straw that the wind blows away.

Sinners will be condemned by God and kept 

apart from God's own people.

"The righteous are guided and protected by the LORD, 

but the evil are on the way to their doom."

(Psalms chapter one GNT)

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?

You know;  deranged, feeble
minded, or show lunacy.

Who do you look up to or admire?
Who do you copy?

Consider all of those "stars",
"celebrities","wealthy people"
and guys who spend their
time fighting over a ball.

And you admire them?  You
want to emulate them?  You
would like to achieve what they
have.

You have to be crazy.

Do you not read the paper?  Or watch the News?

Those counterfeit people are not happy.  They
have no peace of mind.

Why do you think they are on drugs, alcohol and
and try to party all the time.   They are not happy
or content.

And you also know that they usually end up in
an early grave.  Lot's of times on purpose.

Do you want real happiness, joy,
peace and contentment?  It is found
 by having a relationship with God
who gives you life to start with.
His name is Jesus Christ.  He came
to earth and died for you because
of his love for you.  He want to
give youa real abundant life.

"May God, the source of hope, fill
you with all joy and peace by means
of your faith in him, ..."
(Romans 15:13a GNT)

GENUINE HAPPINESS

"Happy are those who reject the advice of evil people,

(Images courtesy of: www.Pixabay. com)

who do not follow the example of sinners or 

join those who have o use for God.

Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the Lord,

and they study it day and night.

They are like trees that grow beside a stream,

that bear fruit at the right time,

and whose leaves do not dry up.

They succeed in everything they do."

(Psalms 1:1-3 GNT)

HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY

"Happy is the one who reads this book,

and happy are those who listen to the

words of the prophetic message and 

obey what is written in this book!

For the time is near when all these

things will happen."

(Revelation 1:3 GNT)

 I know.  I know.  I know.
The passage of Scripture quoted above specifically
applies to the book of Revelation.  Or the last book
in The Book.

However, over many, many years I have found the
above quote to be true of the entire or whole book,
that is, the HOLY BIBLE.

It is through the Bible that I have found a joy that
comes from God.  Joy over the blessings and help
I need presently.  And joy over the blessings and
rewards that God has for me in the future.

I am happy over the peace that the Bible brings me.
In the midst of turmoil, anxiety and doubt, this book
gives me the peace about the whole thing that I need.

When life gets tough for me.  When sorry tears at the
very depths of my being.  This book, the HOLY BIBLE,
gives me a comfort that no human being can,

And, it is the only book in the world that can and does
give me the direction I need for my life.  How to live
in a way that is pleasing to God.  Yes, sometimes it
whips me around when I do not live the way I am
suppose to.  And God knows how to get my attention
and yours too if you will permit him to.

Spend some time in the HOLY BIBLE.  Let it talk to
you.  You will be glad you did, and you can be happy,
happy, happy.

"The longer you read the Bible,

the more you will like it;

it will grow sweeter and sweeter;

and the more you get into the spirit of it,

the more you will get into the spirit of Christ."

-Romanine.

FRUSTRATED WITH OUR NATION?

"The LORD frustrates the purposes of the nations;
he keeps them from carrying out their plans.
But his plans endure forever;
his purposes last eternally.
Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD;
happy are the people he has chosen for his own!"
(Psalms 33:10 - 12 TEV)
