We are all looking for happiness! Have we lost happiness in the past? Or is it a peak to be arrived at in some distant FUTURE?
I’ll be happy as soon as………………….. I’ll be happy as soon as………………..
HAPPINESS CAN ONLY BE EXPERIENCED IN THE NOW! Difficult to understand?
See how many times you can find the word “happy” in Matthew chapter five in the verses one to eleven.
THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE!
I counted the word happy just now 8 times and the word happiness once.

Today I picked up a little booklet at The Warehouse with quotes from real Dads. Here are three:
“Every moment they put their trust in us… we gotta be there for them.”
“My Dad said he loved me before he died.. it was the best thing anyone has ever said to me.”
And here is the last one. I like it very much!
“What sort of legacy are we going to leave our kids?”
Good question! A picture goes with it. You can see the backs of three people sitting on a bench looking towards the sea, Dad with his two children. On the left a big tree and on the right houses. A very impressive picture indeed.
“What sort of legacy are we going to leave our kids?”
Are we teaching them, that there is a heavenly Father they must trust? And that the heavenly Father is always there for them?
Are we teaching them, that there is a heavenly Father who loves them so much, that HE sent HIS only Son Jesus Christ to die for them?
“What sort of legacy are we going to leave our kids?”
