You're right, we don't deserve it, and the more we pursue it as a commodity, the emptier we are because it fails to satisfy. Only Jesus can do that! Thank you for sharing your heart and your story!<br />ShaunieShaunie @ Up the Sunbeamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241965070501761816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5264251906272749457.post-80631312034799881492010-10-21T18:17:50.896-07:002010-10-21T18:17:50.896-07:00I agree with Jason.

I didn't grow up seeing happiness in my childhood either... it looks like we both ended up in this wonderful place of faith, which connects to each other. And that gives me joy.<br /><br />Wonderful to meet you in this post. So disarming and beautiful expressed, Heidi! Thank you for adding this special autobiographical shot of faith!Bonnie Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331275947237285245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5264251906272749457.post-52394912589444725282010-10-21T15:32:05.896-07:002010-10-21T15:32:05.896-07:00I like your little checklists.

They are fleeting aren't they? When we put our focus on those happy moments we will never have true joy.

I especially like how you've wrapped it all up: " I must never forget that they are fleeting and that they are nothing compared to the Joy I have in Jesus… it lasts forever."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05174940277873300125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5264251906272749457.post-30278152319041310052010-10-21T11:03:20.716-07:002010-10-21T11:03:20.716-07:00Walk by faith and not by sight(or feelings) You le...Walk by faith and not by sight(or feelings) You learned a valuable my friend. I'm so glad you have learned this, and glad you are sharing it. We don't deserve happiness, but when you serve a Big God with a big heart, its hard not be happy. Love your writing, even though it's for MOMs Lol. I just like your style. Thanx-Luke MartinLuke&Alannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475808124788915662noreply@blogger.com
