Ecclesiastes 3: 12 ESV "I know that there is
nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live."
It's something we are in
control of our happiness. I used to think I can only be happy when I do certain
things, buy certain clothes, etc. One day I realized things do not make me
happy; in fact, I feel empty and not content.
I alone at home for a very
long time, and during that time, I realized that the only person who really can
make me happy is God. Spending much of my time with the Lord, I didn't have
anything that made me happy. My husband came home from work done things with
me, but happiness couldn't be something he could give me. Items cannot bring
you joy. Only God can, and I realized I am happy now, and nothing bothers me. I
used to put unrealistic expectations on my kids, my husband, and everyone I
thought was excellent, I idolized them and thought I would be as important to
them as they are to me. I know that my family and friends favor me because God
has placed His supernatural favor on my life. People like me because God opened
the door to spiritual support.
Prayer
Lord, please take me to the
next level in my life; I am so grateful for each of my children, stepchildren,
and husband. My grandchildren and all my family, I am whole because of each
person in my life. Thank You, Lord, for the blessings they all bestowed upon
me. Amen
