Created for Happiness: The world's happiness has nothing on the happiness found in God.
by Judith Pierre-Okerson (Judith is a director on the United Methodist Women Board of Directors from the Florida Conference and serves as the chair of its committee on governance.)
Rejoice in the Lord, always: and again I say, Rejoice! - Philippians 4:4 (KJV)
I was not gifted with a melodious voice. I can barely hold a note, but I love to sing. One of my favorite verses from childhood is from a song I learned in Girl's Brigade in Haiti:
Quoi qu'il m'arrive j'ai toujours le sourire
Je prends la vie l'ennui du bon cote
Car je me suis dit qu'il peut m'arriver pire,
Cela suffit pour me mettre en gaite.
The verse can be translated as: "Whatever happens to me, I keep smiling. I take life's trouble well. For I said to myself the worst could have happened to me, this is enough to make me happy."
