Happiness is to know the Savior,
Living a Life within His favor,
Having a change in my behavior,
Happiness is the Lord...
At the beginning of the month,
Sheri, a blogger from blogspot began a post titled "What Makes You Happy, " the idea being that each day of the month you would post something that made you happy. I have been doing this in my sidebar and have now decided to post it here as my first
"Month of Praises" post. I'm posting it a couple of days early in hopes that you will all join me in creating your own month of praises sections in your sidebar. I'm hoping to continue doing this every month so that when days come that seem to be filled with trial or heart ache I can look back and be encouraged that no matter what the stuggle I can always find something to be thankful for.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (New International Version)
give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
