Happiness is something we create in our mind.
It's not something you search for and so seldom find.
It's just waking up and beginning the day
By counting our blessings and kneeling to pray.
It's giving up thoughts that breed discontent
And accepting what comes as a gift heaven-sent.
It's giving up wishing for things we have not
And making the best of whatever we've got.
For it's by completing what God gives us to do
That we find real contentment and happiness, too.
(I meet God in the morning and go with Him through
the day, then in the stillness of the night, before sleep
comes, I pray.)
