My thoughts today are short and sweet!

Happiness is an “inside job”.  Happiness is a choice.  We all know people who are always unhappy about something.  It simply doesn’t have to be that way! The individual who discovers this reality has a better life.

And, happiness and joy aren’t the same thing!  If someone walks up to me and hands me a $100 bill – I’m happier than I was a few moments prior. I’m happier when things in life go well.

Joy is not dependent on the circumstances of life – joy endures.  The joy I experience when my four grandchildren are in my arms is not diminished by their occasional misbehaviors!

My greatest joy is knowing Jesus and the assurance my life is in His hands!

Blessings!
