Twenty Fourth Day of Lent - Happiness

By Li Yihang, 7 years old. China Daily

 But for most, the burdens of life are heavy.

And yet all around us we see perfection.

Simply try to enjoy your life,

Enjoy the fruits of your labour.

The line in the sand is final. There is no going back.

Eternality has been planted in our hearts.

Ecclesiastes 3

Happiness is a deep emotion.  It can not be manufactured.  'Be Happy' is a silly thing to say.  

Happiness is something to reflect on.  "My, we did have fun." Often it's the simple things that are the most enjoyable.  An evening walk.  Pulling up potatoes. A smile across the room.

Jesus' life seems as if it were tough from beginning to end.  What made him happy?  What makes him happy now?  

PRAYER:  It is my desire to be happy with you.
