Happiness is the feeling or showing pleasure or contentment. We all want to be happy. As we grow older, we realize that happiness does not come from things but comes from the inside and is reflected outward. Sure things, relationships, and money can contribute to one’s happiness, but happiness can only occur if you choose it. Happiness is a choice not a result. Nothing will or can make you happy until you choose to be. Isaiah 55:12 reads, “You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.” Today, let us choose to be happy even if life gets in the way. For the joy of the LORD is our strength. God Bless. Amen.
