Happiness Is Like a Butterfly, Henry David Thoreau

Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder." Henry David Thoreau, *** Happiness, is where ever you happen to find it. And to be truthful it is not as elusive as a butterfly, in all instances. It is because happiness is more an internal rather than a external state of mind.*** Happiness, is honestly finding the hidden light, you have within your very soul. It is more precious than all the stars' twinkling diamonds in the evening sky. It is more valuable than either silver or gold. Happiness does not lie within how much earthly goods you can accumulate. *** "Happiness, is different things to different people that's what happiness is." Popular quotation. *** Some search all of their entire lives trying to find true happiness, but they only miss the mark. Earthly happiness is not only short termed, but it is also temporary. "It is here one day and gone the next."*** "Heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine, filling my soul with glory divine, Heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine. Hallelujah! Jesus is mine."*** "People are chasing after money and dreams that don't come true." Money runs through your hands like grains of sand in a hour glass. You can not buy the stairway to heaven, because it is not for sale. You can not buy either happiness nor contentment for money either!*** "I'm climbing the stairway to happiness, with a new step every day." The singer and dancer equated happiness with new relationships with beautiful members of the feminine gender. He associated it with the glamour and excitement of the entertainment industry. Along with all of its peaks and privileges it provided.*** How can you find true happiness? Only through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. But first to achieve lasting happiness, He must first redeem your lost souls. Happiness and contentment are only possible through Him!*** Trials and tribulations will come! He will not necessarily keep you from them, but he promises to faithfully see you through them. He will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able to endure! He will never leave you nor forsake you. Lo! He is with you always even unto the end of the age! Praise be the Lord! Hallelujah! A-men! Love in Christ Jesus!
