HAPPINESS
Thanking God for blessings first thing in the day
Will start each day off in a happy way.
Counting your blessings is the surest way
To bring you happiness every day.
Do unto others the things that you
Would like to have others do unto you.
Doing a good turn to someone each day
Will bring happiness to you in a dependable way.
Service to others in church or club
Plus pleasure of their associations
In projects promoting the welfare of all
Fulfills happy expectations.
Association with friends brings happiness,
Good neighbors bring happiness too.
Be a friend to neighbors and associates
And they will bring happiness to you.
A friendly greeting brings happiness
When given with a friendly smile.
Not one that’s routine or perfunctory –
But one “going the second mile”. (Matt 5:41)
Any way you can give happiness to others
Will give happiness to you.
It is somewhat like throwing a boomerang
That turns and comes back to you.
The greatest happiness for most people
Comes in the family to and from
Children, grandparents, brothers and sisters,
Uncles and aunts, but mostly , Dad and Mom.
Give happiness to your loving wife
With love and praise and good deeds for her.
Few thing you do will enrich your life
Like the love in return you’ll receive from her.
