Happiness

Dear Lord please be with us on this day and may we not shy away from doing the difficult things when they are there to do. May we feel the presence of the Holy Spirit by our side as we go through the day and may we have good positive confident attitudes about our abilities to do whatever is on the path that we choose to follow this day. Help us to be happy with our own choices on this day, and be happier when our choices please others and make them happy, in Jesus Christ's name we pray,amen.

Quotation:
A man should be encouraged to do what the Maker of him has intended by the making of him, according as the gifts have been bestowed on him for that purpose. His happiness, and that of others around him [depends upon] such a relation to the Maker's will. --Thomas Carlyle
