It's a Good Day When....

Remember when...
--the world went around humming and sometimes singing.

Maybe people have too many good for nothing days to sing about the good ones.
Maybe it's easier to say "Have a nice day"! than to actually have one.
Somebody struck it rich by replacing the American smile with a "Happy Face" button.

The "pursuit of happiness" has shaped the American character. As a matter of fact, happiness has become big business from the happy-face buttons to National Smile Week (that's been around since 1949).

Do we need a button or a greeting card to remind us to be happy? Would smiling prove that we are happy inside?

Maybe we should think less about the "pursuit of happiness" and concentrate on the "happiness of pursuit". This world is packed with causes that need pursuing:
---people who need understanding
---love
---a gentle hand
---a kind word
---a dinner invitation
---a prayer
---a listening ear
---an introduction to God

Look at the money people spend trying to buy happiness. Don't they know it's free!

What does the Bible have to say? Certainly nothing about buttons and cards - or pursuits.
Happy people are those whom God corrects...
are those who find wisdom...
are those who have mercy on the poor...
are those who trust in the Lord...

To think and pray about: Pray a lot, smile from the inside out, make every day happy in the Lord.
