BE HAPPY


"Don't worry. Be happy". I'm sure everyone has heard that song on the radio at one time or another. But I wonder if we ask ourselves, "Are we happy?" I don't mean that we should be constantly ecstatic or exuberant, but HAPPY, full of that deep down inner contentment which persists even in the midst of trials and tribulations?

Because we are the children of God, God is concerned and cares for us. Whatever our real needs, we can rest assured that God will fulfill them, albeit in His own time and accordance with His will. But we can live in thankfulness to God. We can allow His presence and peace to make us serene and secure in our relationship with Him. Whether we are rich or poor, on the mountain or in a deep valley, experience gladness and good health or sorrow and pain, He is walking beside us, helping us along our way. We are forever, and can celebrate our identity, as His sons and daughters.

God will provide us with the strength and courage we need to confront and overcome anything that comes our way. So....embrace God's love a-new today, and Be Happy!!

CAPT John W. Morrison, CHC, USN

Hi Ma, I went and visited Hilary yesterday, (damn that Seattle traffic :-)), we ate and had fun and I did a few Dad chores in her apartment, (she has the fluffiest kitty cat).

She had just returned from her 10 day vacation in Europe, went back to work and was laid off her first day back :-(

She'll find another job soon but she was shocked at the abruptness of the news.

Glad you had a nice visit and you did the “Dad” jobs.

I think she has reason to be shocked. I bet they knew things were happening before she left. They could have waited a few days before laying her off.

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

Good evening, mountainlion...((HUGS))...a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Too true that there is little to be happy about these days, but we must guard against being dragged down. Trusting in God, that he knows what he is doing, is the way.
