Today is a new day

1 O make a new song to the Lord; let all the earth make melody to the Lord.2 Make songs to the Lord, blessing his name; give the good news of his salvation day by day.Psalm 96:1-2

Your attitude can be your best friend or your own worst enemy

Which song best describes your attitude?
"Rain drops keep falling on my head"
"Make the world go away"
"I'll do it my way"
"All by myself"
or
"walking on sunshine"
"Joy to the world"
"Don't worry be happy"
"oh what a beautiful morning"
God may our words be like songs today, may we sing to you great praises

Celebrating Laughter

Laughter is a gift from God that brightens our good times and lightens the rough ones. Laughter even has a healing quality to it. People have recovered from serious diseases by learning to laugh each day.
Proverbs 17:22 says that a cheerful heart is good medicine. Laughter can draw others to you and lighten your load in life. When you begin to laugh at life and at yourself you gain new perspective on your struggles. You begin to see a speck of light at the end of the tunnel. A life without laughter quickly becomes a breeding ground for depression, physical illnes and a critical spirit. But a laughter filled life unleashes the spirit of celebration.
Make room for laughter in your life, seek it out. Begin today as you smile at someone and find something worth laughin about. As the laughter permeates your life, the spirit of celebration will take root in your heart and you will discover the meaning of another proverb: The cheerful heart has a continual feast; Proberbs 15:15

What is happiness? Can it be defined

The past few days were hectic, I am always running. For me to relax and unwind sitting in front of the television was my medicine. Or was it? Or was it like any other addiction a subsitute for what life really has to offer. What does life offer, the chance to grow to live, to give and to be happy. So why do I always feel depleted, tired, ready to give up and give in to my addiction.
