Thank you Lord
For Happiness
There are times
I feel happy
However fleeting
However short
I feel happy
Knowing all is well
All will be well
No fears or worries
At these times
When I am happy
I know then
You've touched my soul
Happiness is a gift. Joy is even more of a gift. I choose to have joy but in the long run desire both.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have a song about joy, Bill. Besides, that poem came to mind out of the blue, so I wrote it down quickly. That's a joy in itself.
DeleteGod bless.
Uplifting thought to begin the week. Thank you. 🌈
ReplyDeleteThank you so much my friend.
DeleteGod bless.
Nice!
ReplyDeleteThanx Joeh.
DeleteGod bless.
Both joy and happiness are positives. I will find happiness in the joy of being alive and loved and the simple pleasures that life has to offer.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this lovely reminder Victor.
God Bless 🌹
I just thought of a song about joy: Give Me Joy in My Heart (Sing Hosanna). (See my comment to Bill). But then it would not fit with the poem.
DeleteI'll settle for joy and happiness.
God bless you, Jan.
This is lovely song Victor, thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThanx Brenda.
DeleteGod bless you.
Thanks for sharing Victor... The song was not my typical cup of tea (or coffee), but it had me smiling by the end. Great way to start the work week.
ReplyDeleteI prefer hot chocolate as a drink; with a dash of whisky or brandy. Great to see you visiting again Ryan. God bless you.
DeleteWe may not always be happy, but we can always have joy in the Lord.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Amen Martha.
DeleteGod bless you always.
Another great video … thank you!
ReplyDelete"However fleeting, however short" makes me wonder. If we were to be happy all the time, would we fully appreciate the exquisite feeling?
Thank you for making a very good point, Mevely. Sometimes, (sometimes it happens spontaneously without warning), I feel happy ... OK ... I feel certain that all will be all right ... God is in control and will protect me. At these times, "however fleeting, however short" (as in my poem) I know He cares for me.
DeleteAs you say, so rightly, the moment has to be spontaneous and limited in time. It cannot be permanent because if it were so we would not appreciate the awesomeness of the moment when God touches our soul.
I'm so grateful for your comment, Mevely. Thank you so much. God bless you always.
I am blessed with happiness and deep joy.
ReplyDeleteAmen Happyone.
DeleteGod bless.
May the joy of The Lord and His peace that passes all understanding always attend your way.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi. You are so kind.
DeleteMay God bless you and your family always.
