Oh, that I had wings like a dove - Psalms 55.6

Inspirational Thought for the Day

How often, in the troubled moments of life, we would like to sprout wings and fly away leaving it all behind us. Man's impossible dream, within this past century, became reality, and he has seen the face of the moon. Yet the earth is home and man, like the bird, must come home to roost. We need to think not in terms of escape, but of the things which we can do to right the wrongs we find and to preserve the many beauties and wonders of the earth which still exist in great measure.

Happiness

Inspirational Thought for the Day

Someone has said that happiness is a running stream: it cannot be a stagnant pool. Think about this for a moment and you will realize that one cannot have happiness by the side of the road. Happiness must be found in the mainstream of life. We cannot capture a single moment and hold onto it forever. Today must fade with the setting of the sun, knowing surely that tomorrow will come.

Look for happiness to come your way tomorrow in the shape of opportunity. You will find it only if you realize that happiness is not a discovery and not a point in time. Happiness is a byproduct of successful living.

Happiness is a duty done, a good deed, being loved, it is justice, freedom and know the will of God.
