True Happiness
seems to reside in getting back, in one's heart and mind, to the purity of being a child. Before one became aware of the evil and wickedness of others, and in one's self. Before lust for flesh and desire for money and material possessions took over. When there was a delight in the littlest things, a blade of grass, a flower in a field, the warmth of the sun. When there was a celebration of simplicity.

i miss being a child.
Blessings Koolman, I found a different avenue to reach that level of happiness....I lean on the LORD God for my peace and joy in life...I\'ve always noticed throughout the day at work for instance that by the middle of the day I was always so beat down and negative and downright exhausted from all my concerns and worry and trying to be what everyone else expected of me that I was beginning to wonder if it was really worth it all... Marriage , work, even play was hard....so I simply began to research in the Bible all that applied to happiness and joy of life and asked the LORD to show me the way....I soon began to spend great time reading about this joy that I felt as though I was missing.....Now, some 6 months later I can honestly say that I am so into the LORD and so focused on him that I don\'t even see the bitterness and anger and tension all around me....I now walk around with a big smile on my face and when someone comes at me with negative talk or tries to involve me in gossip or drama, I simply draw back into the LORD\'S arms as he rescues me over and over again...Really works for me....
Here\'s wishing you all the best and hoping things get better for you ...
Thanks, guys, especially Cajunboy, and, yes, i agree, the Lord works. His peace can be found in nature. I love going into nature. It\'s so peaceful and quiet. Wish I had more time to spend there.
