The Way of Happiness
I turned the tattered pages of the book that was given to Joe long ago by a friend who has since passed on to be with the Lord—God Calling. Its frayed and yellowed pages are divided into at least three torn sections.
There under to today’s date I find the words recorded from two anonymous listeners who longed for Manna from Heaven to share with this world of hurting people. Under the title—The Way of Happiness:
COMPLETE surrender of every moment to God is the foundation of happiness, the superstructure is the joy of Communion with Him.
COMPLETE surrender of every moment to God . . . I can’t help but think of Ann. I’m still stumbling my way through it but it is the most simple yet profound thing I’ve learned over the past year.
The giving of thanks is beyond necessary. It is crucial to the very quality of our lives. And that’s what surrender is all about. It’s the realization that we just cannot control the moments but we can trust the One who does. And the giving of the thanks in the midst of the moment is the sure sign that we’ve surrendered.
It’s tried and true. I’m slow to learn but even in the not surrendering or giving thanks the lesson is crystal clear.
Determined, I will march on and look for grace and continue thanking Him.
Thank you for . . .
- letting it go at the altar
- unpaid bills
- messy stacks of papers
- achy muscles
- fussy kids
- quiet moments in the midst of the chaos
- those who continue to point the way to Him
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:18 ~
