Define HAPPINESS?

HAPPINESS can be defined in so many: BIG, small and funny ways. We say this because on certain occasions it's obvious; but in other cases it's unclear. Perhaps its due to the manner in which the person was raised or who stood by them during TOUGH times. Yet, what we know to be TRUE is this:

PSALM 126:16

THOSE WHO SOW IN TEARS SHALL REAP WITH SHOUTS OF JOY.

All in all, everyone has their own interpretation on what HAPPINESS means to them. Now the Webster Dictionary shares this regarding HAPPINESS. It's something that produces: JOY, prosperity and a pleasurable experience.

In our opinion ... Mr. Webster is referring to:
  1. JOY = Self worth
  2. Prosperity = Owning your own: car, business and/or home.
  3. Pleasurable = Meeting, dating, debating and eventually Marrying Mr./Miss Right.
What we LOVE about the previous examples is this:

ROMANS 8:37

YET IN ALL THESE THINGS WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM WHO LOVED US.

Our definitions of HAPPINESS are:
  1. Appreciating JESUS CHRIST in your life.
  2. Making a conscious choice to embracing the true you.
  3. Family ... Our 4 Diamond sons and each other ...
If you find it difficult to uncover your own HAPPINESS, just remember this:

JOSHUA 1:9

THIS IS MY COMMAND - BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS! DO NOT BE AFRAID OR DISMAYED. FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.

FINALLY THOUGHT

HAPPINESS isn't a: person, place or thing ... Its what's inside of you ... Can't you hear or feel it TRYING to GET Out?

A Parent's LOVE

When the school nurse contacted us regarding our son Josue' (Diamond#2) accident during gym class and that the ambulance would be escorting him to the hospital EMERGENCY room ... Our HEARTS literally fell to the ground. At that point, we'd wished we had WINGS; so that we could FLY to his son's side.

A Parent's LOVE ...


Can't be covered up ... Turned on or off with a flick of a switch ... Its something that comes natural: before, during and after your infant is conceived. GOD reveals to us the true meaning of the word LOVE:


JOHN 3:16

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.

A Parent's LOVE ...

Grows every: second, hour and day during the exchanging of: hugs, kisses, misunderstandings and especially bedtime PRAYERS ... Without a doubt, it's AMAZING how the smallest gestures can produce the BIGGEST impacts in a family's life. Perhaps its due to the LOVE that JESUS CHRIST demonstrated to us on the CROSS. Can we share something with you? In our opinion that: was, is and will ALWAYS be the ULTIMATE display of A Parent's LOVE:

ROMANS 5:8

BUT GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE TOWARDS US, IN THAT WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US.

CLOSING STATEMENT

A Parent's LOVE ... Is something that TRULY and directly comes from ABOVE!

1 JOHN 4:19

WE LOVE BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US.

BLESSINGS,

A Positive Mindset...

A positive mindset is the result of communicating with the LORD on a daily bases. It consist of: STUDYING the word, an active PRAYER life which involves: Fastening with a purpose, congregating with fellow worshipers and last but certainly not least, asking GOD what you've been called to do ...

It sounds hard; but it really isn't. PRAYER; is the key that unlocks the doors of courage and determination. Another way to reach your destination is by taking this BIBLE scripture to HEART:

MATTHEW 7:7

ASK, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU; SEEK, AND YOU WILL FIND; KNOCK, AND IT WILL BE OPENED TO YOU.

Its that simple. So what are you waiting for? Do you STILL need a little more incentive? Well here it is:

LUKE 1:37

FOR NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD.

Without a doubt, we LOVE the LORD ... Why you ask? Because no matter how FICKLE we may feel, due to the circumstances that surround us, we know that's when the King of Kings: steps in, on time, and ALWAYS ready to equip us with the needed weapons in order to conquer any WAR ... WOW, that's so DEEP ... It tickles our feet ...

FINALLY THOUGHT

Check this out? In order for your thought pattern to shift into a POSITIVE gear or close to it ... You must STOP dwelling on your past mistakes and center your FULL attention on present and future Victories. Can we get an AMEN? We're STILL waiting ...

We're BACK!

Be4 we continue... We'd like 2 say... Happy 2011... To all of you...

New: journeys, Victories, and a whole lot of BLISSFUL surprises! So don't get scared, hold on 2 your seats; because when the LORD allows those rain storms of BLESSINGS to FALL upon you ... Its going 2 fill your: hearts, minds, and especially your homes with memories ... That will keep you SMILING for a LIFE time ...

That's why we have this BIBLE verse stamped in our HEARTS:

ISAIAH 40:31

BUT THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES; THEY SHALL RUN, AND NOT BE WEARY; AND THEY SHALL WALK, AND NOT FAINT.
