[17]
"Happiness is not what you can get from life;
it's what you give to others."
The world defines happiness in
terms of having a good job, a nice car, a comfortable house, the right
kind of friends and connections, etc. It's all getting something from
life.
Lord, how foolish it is to equate happiness with these passing things
and relationships. A good job does not last. One can lose it, or retire.
Certainly cars and homes do not last forever. Even friends and connections
end. Let my happiness be rooted in things that last, in the good deeds
I do, the gifts I share, the love I give to others.
