Am very thankful for the insights in your web. I found myself engrossed so much of the topics. I always read it for enllightenment and sometimes I used it in my "talks" to my community.

A very inspiring article that further reminds me as the Word says not to complain about situations that we may be in because there is always someone else in a worse sitation. One cannot ignore the fact that Jesus suffered far more than any of us could possibly imagine so that we could have eternal life. We are a blessed people who God continues to pour his goodness into time and time again, even when we don't think we need it or indeed deserve. As Psalm 139 :14 says we are "fearfully and wonderfully made". Put the Kingdom of God first and surely goodness and mercy will follow. I have taken alot from what has been written and practically will go and buy a book to write down all the good things that God has done for me.

As someone who has often been called a 'happy heart' and even 'Pollyanna' I can tell you my secret joy- God. Not someone else's interpretation or the study of theology or going to a particular church or religion: the simple act of daily devotion and following God ( which I do through the teachings of Jesus, but others do from their own callings ) and living in love and prayer. Don't fear God- pray and await your calling! God is love and God loves each and every one of us, even when we forget how to love each other. Knowing and trusting that we can be thankful for every day, even the ones with the most difficult lessons, where blessing seems far from us.
