How To Be Happy
I had felt down, out and deserted today until I read today's daily bread. It took me a while to drum it into my mind, before it eventually cheered me up knowing I should be grateful for who I am, for what I've got, for where I am....
Whatever it is that is making me feel the way I feel today, I just remember this: (it proves to put a smile on my face... though definitely not to those who are making me down. Ahahaha....).
Proverbs 16:20 tells us, “Whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.” And Psalm 146:5 indicates that happiness comes to those who find their help and hope in God. The foundation for happiness is a proper relationship with the Lord. But to fully experience that happiness, we must build on that foundation in practical ways.
I found this list of Ten Rules for Happier Living:
1. Give something away
2. Do a kindness
3. Give thanks always
4. Work with vim and vigor
5. Visit the elderly and learn from their experience
6. Look intently into the face of a baby and marvel
7. Laugh often—it’s life’s lubricant
8. Pray to know God’s way
9. Plan as though you will live forever—you will
10. Live as though today is your last day on earth.
These are excellent ideas for living a happy life. Undergird each of these rules with praise, and your happiness will be complete. “Praise the Lord, O my soul! While I live I will praise the Lord” (Ps. 146:1-2). —Richard De Haan.
