Happiness leads to Joy and Joy leads to Happiness
What is the life I was meant to live? (Now, that’s a good
question-one I think we all ponder at some point in life more often than not)
Was I somewhat on track at one point? Have I always been one
or the other? Why ask. Who cares. Again. so much time spent analyzing instead
of living. (And again, not entirely true. My photo albums are filled with
several memories, experiences, vacations, friends, family, gatherings, events,
people, places and things! Good grief, man, how much do you want from life? Everything?
All the pleasures and not of the pain! All of the desires and none of the consequences.
No, not a sinful life; a fulfilled life; mind body and spirit. But this is
deeper than the world can give; I believe what I truly desire is on the other
side of life; paradise with Jesus as the throne; be patient; it’s coming 😊

Corinthians 9:6-7 The Cheerful Giver
6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap
sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully[a] will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must
give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion,
for God loves a cheerful giver.
Serving the Lord with a full heart is joyous; in joy, there
is happiness; contentment is NOT a bad
word. It is far too often confused and misplaced by complacent. Contentment is
good. Complacent, well, not so much.
Knowing this does little to solve the riddle. Can one live
as they are intended and realize peace; while also being a blessing to others?
(Um, yes! We just answered that! repeatedly through this journal journey! True happiness
is being in cheerfully and willingly in line with the Will of God; John 10:10! Come
on man! Get it together! Life is what you make it, where ever you are; from the
shores of small fishing villages to skyscrapers in bustling cities…it’s true:
No matter where you are: serve Him and you will reap the
benefits of His Love
