The Bible isn't a psychology textbook, but it gives us the wisest counsel for experiencing happiness here and now. Proverbs 17:22, for example, assures us that "a merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones."
That simple statement was recently corroborated by the extensive research of Dr. Daniel Mark, a heart specialist at Duke University. The New York Times article that reported his findings carried this headline: "Optimism Can Mean Life for Heart Patients and Pessimism Death." The article begins with these words: "A healthy outlook helps heal the heart."
But Dr. Nancy Frasure-Smith, a heart specialist who has studied the effect of depression, anxiety, and anger, admitted, "We don't know how to change negative emotions."
Faith in God, however, can produce that change. People who look beyond their present difficulty and put their trust in God's goodness cannot help but be joyful.
It's significant that our Savior said on several occasions, "Be of good cheer" (Matthew 9:2,22; 14:27; Acts 23:11). Knowing that life is filled with many crises, He encourages us with this word of reassurance: "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). -Vernon Grounds
No matter what happens, you can find joy in the Lord.
Good morning, Billie. It looks like I don't have many fonts installed on my computer. LOL!
Wow!!! Billie thank you, and a Terrific Tuesday "good morning" to everyone!
I'll let the girls do the font tricks since I don't have many of the ones you've used. : )
Morning, gorgeous BillieBlue! : )
Great! This is something I have wanted to learn. But I will have to bookmark it for later, because this is a work day and I haven't enough sittin' time to read it carefully and try it out. Thanks for your expertise on this good stuff. Hope I can pick it up!
Hi ((((((Billie)))))))
I am in desperate need of new fonts because I can't see the difference in many of the fonts mentioned.
I'm also in desperate need of space on this old PC since it only stores 4 gigabytes. I am going to bookmark this thread and play around with the fonts on my laptop which has tons more space on it.
Thank you for this great lesson in fonts/web graphics. Not only informative, but *beautiful* as well.
