Happiness is never found in materialistic things; it exists in things that cannot be physically possessed. Therefore, happiness is priceless. It can never be purchased.
Love is happiness.

Undisciplined Children
Undisciplined children such as the sons of Eli, grow up to
become adults. Many of them have children of their own. From undisciplined
generations of people, society becomes filled with those who contribute to
problems relating to acts of violent behavior; such people harm others without
remorse, and destroy property, without caring who the owners are. They have no
conscious of guilt for the evil acts they commit against others.
God warned Eli to disciple his children while they were
young. Eli refused to discipline his children despite God’s instructions. The
results of his adult children bad behavior brought embarrassment to him, along
with God’s punishment.
God’s message will always stand for all parents to
discipline their children: Undisciplined children show no respect to their
parents and neither to others. They have no regards for the laws of the land.
Medication cannot be used as a tool to discipline bad behavior. It will never
replace the disciplinary measures used by parents. Failure to discipline children
results in world problems. That is the penalty.
Every generation has been given the same blueprint to follow
for the good of society. When that blueprint is disregarded by parents and
those in leadership positions, the chain is broken and the human race suffers.

The Darkest Moments When Hope is Gone
May the God of hope and peace comfort your mind and heal all
your hurts.
When hope is gone, in your darkest of moments, if you pause
and consider; who has created you and all life, and the things that exists in
both Earth and in the heavens above; is also, able to deliver you, and solve
all of your problems, hope will return to you.
“For with God nothing shall be impossible.” St. Luke 1:37 (K.J.V)

Contentment
Contentment
I thank God for his love for me, and for each choice I made.
I chose love over hate.
I chose forgiveness over grudges.
I chose peace over war.
I chose thankfulness over complaints.
I give thanks to God for the contentment I found within me.
I now live my life, with the satisfaction of my choices.
When I chose contentment, I chose happiness.
__ Ellen J. Barrier
*Contentment is a state of happiness and satisfaction.
Seeing Life in Other Species Inspires Hope
Hope inspires the will to live. The existence of life is understood and appreciated when the soul has the will to live.
When hope is gone, life has no meaning. Therefore, the will to live, will no longer exist. To capture hope, is to see the beauty of life in other species.
In the beginning God created heaven and Earth. Genesis 1:1

Words of Comfort from the Bible
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching there unto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
