Be Happy Today
Jul/0916
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough and we’ll be more content when they are.
After that, we’re frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation,or when we retire.
The truth is, there’s no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It’s best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with… and remember that time waits for no one.
So, stop waiting
–until your car or home is paid off
–until you get a new car or home
–until your kids leave the house
–until you go back to school
–until you lose ten pounds
–until you gain ten pounds
–until you finish school
–until you get a divorce
–until you get married
–until you have kids
–until you retire
–until summer
–until spring
–until winter
–until fall
–until you pass away…
There is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
So — work like you don’t need money, Love like you’ve never been hurt, And dance like no one’s watching.
Please pass this on to at least 10 people.

Love and live as this is your last day, and live for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Our Heavenly Father!!! : ) This world here is all about rush and rush some more until we have run out of time, and the enemies would love for all of us to stay blinded. So yes Smile big: )))) for you know this is just a journey here!
This is just a journey here for a much better place with God and we have to stay focus on God, not worldly pleasures.
The pathway is a narrow one and for all who love God, He gives us the strength, courage and wisdom to know the difference in this world, and the world to come with Him, through knowing Him by staying in His words of Truth everyday.
The poem is great and Thanks, but for all of the ones who have not known the complete change God makes in us, for when we totally give our life back to Him, we are no longer selfish and thinking of ourselves, but we put others first, with a servant heart.
We have to have our armor on of Jesus love and forgiveness, and help as many as we can to see the light and to know this is only temporary and full of evil where we live now.
Love, Forgive and Help those who are loss. and Smile : )))))))

I’m 52 now, and lost my only son 13 years ago. This is the lesson I learned! His death makes things I worried about before seem so silly now. We never know we have a tomorrow. When you speak with someone, imagine that it could be the last time. The last thing my son said to me was “I love you Mom, I’ll see ya later”, and I know if I live as a Christian, I will!
God Bless us all!

MY HUSBAND WAS ONE OF THOSE THAT WAS GOING TO RETIRE AT 62. WE WERE GOIING TO TRAVEL,VISIT FAMILY MORE &JUST SPENT MORE LOVING TIME TOGETHER.
HE WORKED UNTIL HE COULD’NT GET FROM HIS TRUCK TO THE OFFICE, THEN HE HAD TO RETIRE. 3 YEARS OF FIGHTING CANCERS & DISEASES HE WENT TO BE WITH THE LORD.
PLEASE TAKE MY ADVISE… DON’T LET YOUR LOVED ONE BE LEFT OUT TAKE THE ADVISE FROM THIS. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU. LENA BELLE

This is a good reminder to eveyone,especially who are working accross the sea,so engrossed on their jobs, spending their time with others thinking that there is still tomorrow.What if tomorrow never comes?
