February 11: Grace and happiness

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude. Denis Waitley 

Only as I have become older, I have realized that happiness is not something that someone else or thing can provide me....that it is as a result of how I live my life. So I have tried to become more engaged in life, and been more grateful for the small things. And slowly, I have realized that the more grateful I am, the happier I am! These flowers in church this morning were so beautiful, I am ever grateful for God's love and grace, and a place to worship that feels like it is a perfect fit! A perfect fit in God's timing, and I have complete faith that we will find happiness in the next place we land through our experience of living and loving with grace and gratitude!
