Goodness Hallowed

L ife does not always serve up ice cream.
I nstead, sometimes there are problems that make one want to scream!
V igorously take steps toward your heavenly dream.
E ternity can be reality by choosing right and shining like a sunbeam.
  
L aughter is good for the soul so laugh a little every day.
A lways remember to show a little kindness along your way.
U ltimately your own joy depends on the loving words you say.
G ive your heart to God and you will never go astray.
H eaven is a free gift that is only a series of choices away.
  
L ove is the greatest gift that can be bestowed.
O ffer it to everyone the way that Jesus showed.
V erily, verily happiness follows the straight and narrow road.
E ffervescently, live, laugh, and love, with goodness hallowed!
