A Wife To Rush Home To - Part 6

Be Happy,

Yesterday I wrote about the PHYSICAL appearance, but I wonder, have you ever noticed that a really beautiful (Meaning BEAUTIFUL!! Not sexy) woman usually has a smile on her face? that she laughs and generally looks happy? Often I have looked at photographs of me and the only thing I can say is "I look sad".

Proverbs 31:25... She can laugh at the days to come... 

Even in the midst of my deepest turmoils, I could still see a bit of sunshine, either the baby squirming inside, or those grubby smiling faces peering at me or a dull light at the end of the tunnel.

Find something to be happy about. Be happy. What makes you happy?

Riches don't make me happy, they fill my house with stuff that I later have to clean up, pack up and put away.

Don't try artificial happiness because it wont last, and your true sadness will show through as your cracks start showing. If you need it, go talk to someone, friend/family, counsellor. If you have depression I urge you to SEEK HELP! Whatever your burden is, you need to lighten it. If you don't, then it is just hard, for all of you involved.
If your stressed, put into place things or strategies to relieve you of that stress! There a lots of things you can do. Laugh at silly/stupid things that usually make you annoyed/angry!

Unfortunately I don't have a quick fix, I wish I did! But I am sorry, I don't.

Inward happiness shows on the outside. FIND IT!!

I was challenged when I was asked to write 10 things that make ME happy!! In fact because it challenged me I challenge YOU to do it also!

10 Things that make me happy

1. That moment when I look up to see hubby looking at me adoringly
2. When one of my beautiful children fall asleep in my arms
3. Watching the delight in a child's face when they discover something new
4. Those first moments discovering we are expecting another bubba, and the first moments when we meet them after birth and lots of moments afterwards
5. When a bill comes in and it has already been 'paid in advance' or the money has been saved up for it (less stress equals happy me)
6. Waking up with my family near by (more so when it is a peaceful setting)
7. Serving, Helping others invigorates my purpose and ambition in life
8. Singing, A delightful tune. Especially with/amongst my children. Something inwardly satisfying about singing, praising, worshipping, uplifting, encouraging.
9. Teaching, Friends & my children
10. Peace and Joy that comes only from the Spirit of God.
