Lipstick?! Oh, you mean Lipstik...More on Youthful Living & Rejoicing in the Lord; Mr Schindler's list

Rejoice in the Lord alway:
and again I say, Rejoice  ~ Philippians 4:4

Another entry on youthfulness...I am always amazed at how children are generally happy.  And active.  Here's Farrah being/doing both after her Piano lesson.  She's wearing her Lipstik brand shoes. 

Don't forget to scroll down to Mr Schindler's list (Ha!) on how to be happy.
I like lists. It gives me something concrete, something I can check off.  The problem is, can I check ALL of it off ?  It then starts me on the road to comparing myself with others.  Or feeing down when I am just not able to do it.  The cure is to focus on the ultimate source of my joy:  the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. This joy/happiness is not dependent on my feelings, abilities, possessions, nor circumstances. It's based on Him who lives and reigns; the King of kings and Lord of lords --the unchangeable, faithful One.














HOW TO LIVE A HUNDRED YEARS HAPPILY
by John A. Schindler

Do not be on the lookout for ill health.  Keep usefully at work.  Have a hobby.  Learn to be satisfied.  Keep on liking people.  Meet adversity valiantly.  Meet the little problems of life with decision.  Above all, maintain a good sense of humor, best done by saying something pleasant every time you get a chance.  Live and make the present hour pleasant and cheerful.  Keep your mind out of the past, and keep it out of the future.
