Choosing Happiness: Vol 4

Today is the 4th week I'm joining Becky at Choose Happy.

This Link Up is intended to learn more about what makes everyone happy, what happiness is to different people & learn how we can share our happiness with those around us. I hope this post series inspires you to Choose Happiness & to help spread it those around you.

 This week's topic is, "What did you learn from the Happiness Link up? ".

The song "Happiness is the Lord" keeps running through my head.  

"Happiness Is The Lord"
By Ira Stanphill

Happiness is to know the Savior,
Living a life within His favor
Having a change in my behavior,
Happiness is the Lord

Happiness is a new creation,
Jesus and me in close relation
Having a part in His salvation,
Happiness is the Lord

Real joy is mine,
no matter if teardrops start
I've found the secret
It's Jesus in my heart
Happiness is to be forgiven,
Living a life that's worth the livin'
Taking a trip that leads to heaven,
Happiness is the Lord

Sometimes, I need that simple reminder!

I ended up joining the link up a couple weeks late.   Here are the highlights from my 3 weeks I joined.

Week 1:  Really was focused around my family.  They are my happiness, I get my happiness from them, and I drive to show them how to be happy.

Week 2:   Was mine and baby girl's 1st birthday!  It brought such joy for the day.

Week 3:  Blessings from God.  My favorite quote from the week was verse from Psalms.  "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the delights of your heart".  Psalm 37:4

 Psalms is always a inspiring place to go when you are down and needing to be lifted up.

Praying you are receiving the desires of your heart.

Choosing Happiness

I would have to be honest, I almost didn't join Becky at Choose Happy  for the link up this week.  Last week or so I've been struggling with choosing happiness, then the mail came to find the new pictures of the kids, which then lead me to say I need to do the link up.


This weeks topic: 
 
Does your life purpose relate to Choosing Happiness?  

For these 5 right here I do choose happiness!   



 Jesus didn't come for us to be miserable and unhappy.  "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."  Luke 19:10 KJV  

My goal in my life is to share happiness with them.  And that they come to be saved and understand God's true love for them.

What is your Happiness story for this week?  

Simple things, having a freezer full of beef again from one of my dads cows, seeming to be winning the battle of the wasps in the basement, a wonderful hubby who comes home each day from working a full day of work, 4 healthy kids who are full of energy and happiness!  And can't forget the beautiful sunshine with a crisp fall weather.  

How do you teach or encourage your family members to Choose Happiness?

Best way to teach and encourage anyone is to show it and live it.  This week I've struggled with it, more they have been teaching me this week.
