Today's ODB is a happy one to ponder indeed-about happiness! Here I quote the list of "Ten Rules for Happier Living" below, try answering how often you follow one of those rules:
1. Give something away. - I sometimes do, not very often though
2. Do a kindness. - I try to do more
3. Give thanks always. - I often do
4. Work with vim and vigor (infml Eng means cheerful forcefulness-energy). - Thankfully that I often do
5. Visit the elderly and learn from their experience. - I seldom do
6. Look intently into the face of a baby and marvel. - I don't have such a baby to look
7. Laugh often—it’s life’s lubricant. - I wish I could laugh more and haven't had a good one for a long time!=(
8. Pray to know God’s way. - I always try
9. Plan as though you will live forever—you will. - I often make plans
10. Live as though today is your last day on earth. - This is kind of rare to me
What about you ? I believe happiness comes from the inside and not the outside. It's what we are and not what we have. We are the precious children of God, we are the heir to a mighty King. While we can't be content with our lives everyday (as there bound to be some bumpy grounds day in and day out), we can get by each joyful or dreadful day thinking to ourselves: well, this is not my home anyway! Hurray!
Stay happy! = )
Psalm 146 : 1-3
1你們要讚美耶和華。我的心哪！要讚美耶和華。
2我還活著的時候，我要讚美耶和華；我還在世上的時候，我要歌頌我的 神。
3你們不要倚靠權貴，不要倚靠世人，他們一點都不能救助你們
