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.
