Happiness

April 8, 2011

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY –
“I want their hearts to be encouraged and united in love.” Colossians 2:2.


I can’t even count the number of sad and tearful days I have had over the past few years. But I have made it because I put my faith where it belonged – IN GOD. I am a stronger person now for myself and my children because I trusted Him and because my faith, family and friends remain my greatest blessings. I kept praying to God that I would find happiness again one day and am amazed that it is exactly two years to the month of such a dark time in my life. What I didn’t realize is that God knew all along when I would be ready and He led me in the right direction and then guided someone toward me. I should have known God had my back!

Since early March, I have had steadfast joy in my step, a smile on my face, and hope in my heart. I have loved the “happiness anchored in my soul” and the excitement of all things that come in a NEW relationship with someone special. The true gift is all we find so similar in our daily lives...

Our sincere love for our kids…the high priority they have for each of us.
We are anxious to share them with one other when the timing is right.
Working hard…yet the freedom of an evening “all our own.”
Joy because our hearts, both hurt deeply, are now encouraged.
We look forward to seeing one another whenever our busy lives allow.
We long for togetherness and can’t help but dream of love?
We make each other laugh and especially smile…OFTEN.
We are savoring this time that God planned for US and knows we deserve.
Finding joy in living His plan for us for now…today…
simply – to make each other happy!

Hebrews 6:19
“We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul.”


Dear God, I hold You in my highest regard. Thank you for Your AMAZING love and guidance, for my joy, and my sorrow, and the strength I gained. Thanks for helping me find my way back to happiness and hope. I will keep my trust in You every day of my life which is the greatest gift of all. Amen
