My thoughts, tonight.

Today was a good day. God is alive and working daily in my life & the lives of people around me, even some that don't know it. The weather is getting cooler. The hurricanes seem to have dissipated for the year. The music playing (Kate Earl) is very awakening. I have a wonderful husband working diligently on his computer about six feet away from me. The holidays are coming. My first nephew is on the way. My job is about as fabulous as a job can be. My puppy (Serif) is upside down on the floor by my feet enjoying his rope. I had a great time talking with a friend over coffee about two hours ago. All these things to be grateful for. In perspective, tomorrow may or may not be as good as today was. No matter which way tomorrow goes.. God will still be as good. "It is a cosmic impossibility that God will be any less good tomorrow than He is today" Tomorrow, it may seem that I don't have as much to be grateful for. But, happiness doesn't rest on these things. The wonderful things I mentioned are just that.. wonderful. Yet, none are guaranteed and in the scope of eternity, they may or may not be consequential. Thus, if I rely solely on those things to carry my happiness I will end up lost.

"God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other. That is why it is just no good asking God to make us happy in our own way without bothering aboout religion. God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing." C.S. Lewis on Happiness
