5 Minutes Bible Study – Happiness Which Money Can’t Buy

HAPPINESS WHICH MONEY CAN’T BUY Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart! Psalm 32:11 In my file on “happiness” is a yellowed piece of paper, the inexpensive kind of paper which little children use in school. It’s been there now for almost a quarter of a century, and the edges are frayed and soiled. On the paper is an essay written in a child’s hand by a nine-year-old girl who happened to be my daughter. It reads, “Money can’t buy happiness. Or love. Sometimes money can’t buy the things that you like best. Money can’t buy the kind of things that mother makes. Money can’t buy good friends.

Are you content? Thankful for what you have? We’ve talked about thank you notes, but can you be thankful always? Knowing and doing are two separate things. You get out of life what you put into it. Be aggressively thankful for trials and life. People who are only happy when they get things they want are rarely happy. Positive energy will bring you more happiness. There was a Buddhist man who was robbed and when he went to see the doctor- all beat up the doctor asked him why he was happy. The man replied, well he may have stolen my money but what good would it dome to stay upset. Besides something great came out of this. I’ve had neck pain for ears. When this man beat me up it cured it. There is always a silver lining. It may take years but more often then not good will come out of even the worst of situations if you let it and move forward. Allow yourself to go beyond your own limits and be happy above all. Thanks for watching. If you have any questions find me on twitter, facebook, or write in the comments section of this video.
