THE KEY TO HAPPINESS
"It is good to give thanks to the Lord," begins the 92nd Psalm.
Why? Because God needs our gratitude? No: because we need it. Learning to be thankful, whether to God or to other people, is the best vaccination against taking good fortune for granted. And the less you take for granted, the more pleasure and joy life will bring you. Slide54Slide55
APPLICATION:
Over this last year God has blessed our church greatly.
Look at what He has done. See Vision Booklet List.
Look at how we should praise Him.
I believe God wants to continue to bless us- but let’s not forget what he has done already.Slide56Slide57
So love now. Enjoy today. Be grateful this instant. Squeeze every drop of joy from each day. Pray hard and love deeply. And if you can, send your mom a Mother's Day card.Slide58
