Transferring Blogs

I had a blog titled "I Want To Tell You..." at another location. I will be transferring some of those to this site. The blogs that will be posted are the ones that I believe God placed on my heart to post in the first place. If some of the blogs sound familiar in the next few days, you will know why. Here is the first transferred blog:


“I Want To Tell You…” about “THINGS”

When I was a young woman, I believed that things could make me happy. That is another one of those beliefs that no one put in my head it was just what I thought. If I had this, I would be happy or if I had that, I would be happy. I managed to have things including a car, clothes, nice place to live and nice furniture. Somewhere along the way my life started falling apart. I had some very serious lessons to learn. I found myself in debt for the things that should have made me happy.

I can still hear mother say “things will never make you happy, they only add to your happiness.”

So where does happiness come from for me? I find happiness when I can help others. I find happiness in sharing my life with family and friends. I find happiness when I can go to my favorite gospel concerts with my husband. I find happiness when my best friend calls and we have some girl time. I find happiness when I see and feel God working in my life. I find happiness when I see answered prayer. I find happiness when I see God’s world created just for us. I find happiness when I see children run and play. Yes, I even find happiness blogging.

Oh my goodness there was not one “thing” mentioned in that list.

I am blessed with many material things. I thank God for them.

Things are good but not as good as the love of God, serving Him, and having the love of family and friends.
