Happiness
“Happiness
is a journey not a destination, work like you don’t need money, love like you’ve
never been hurt, and dance like no one’s looking.” Author Buddha
We all
want happiness, we all want our children, families, and friends to be happy.
When
we feel as though we have failed in life or failed at life, ok that is a little
harsh. Instead, when things aren’t going the way we want them, or it’s simply
not working in our favor and when we are at our lowest all we want to do is runaway,
hideaway or just be alone in silence, switching off the noise to one hectic world
we all live in.
We
have spoken about liberation and salvation and now that we are saved and freed
how do we plan on living our lives? Do we strive for happiness? Do we wake up
with a grateful heart that is thankful for everyone and everything one may have
in their life? I can honestly say that I don’t always wake up like that because
sometimes I dread the day I may have.
Let me
go back to the word fail, I know that deep down I am not a failure. Life is
hard, and if life is a journey, it is one bloody hell of a journey, please
excuse my language and forgive me.
But
that is what we must come to understand that happiness is a journey not a
destination. It’s something we must work on and practice every day of our
lives. You know, I love this time of year; I love how enthusiastic I can be
when it comes to decorating the house or the amount of cooking, I do and not forgetting
to mention how I love buying new outfits to wear for Christmas Eve mass and
Christmas Day.
So,
why am I not happy?
Nobody
stops me from being happy, the only person stopping me is me.
Am I
terrified?
Am I
planning appropriately?
Who am
I waiting on to make me happy?
This week
we wait on the Lord, but I say we don’t have to wait for he already walks among
us so let us rejoice and be glad for he is the one who is to come.
Matthew
11:4-6
Jesus
answered, ‘Go back and tell John what you hear and see; the blind sees again,
and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are
raised to life and the Good News is proclaimed to the poor; and happy is the
man who does not lose faith in me.’
So, don’t
lose faith, happy are those who believe, and trust in God. Have confidence in
knowing that one day we will see again, we will walk again, we will be cleansed,
we will hear again, and we will be raised to life eternally with our Savior
Jesus Christ.
Happiness
comes in different shapes and sizes, I say to you all stay awake, be alert and
appreciate the small things and be happy because God shows up when we least
expect it. Never forget that God shows up and that is what makes my soul happy
and complete.
Thank you,
God.
John
15:11
I have
told you this so that my own joy may be in you and your joy be complete.
