Jesus said, “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33)

It is our human nature to expect to be happy in the future, after some event that we are planning, bills are paid or  kids graduate. This is not positive thinking and we are denying our own happiness now by not being full of joy here in the present. Be present in your life. The best way to be joyful is to be full of gratitude for everything in your life. Even the things that bring us heartache are bringing us closer to God and our place in heaven. Happiness is a choice. Choose happiness. Have gratitude. Be Happy today!
