The Secret

By Kay Heitsch

I know the secret of happiness. ~ Secret Quotes ~

The following Bible verses are two that I have read many times. However, I somehow missed the "The secret" part.

Here's the verses. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation. I can do all this through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4: 12&13

The secret to contentment is found in Christ, who gives us strength. When we learn to be content, then we will be happy.

I know the secret of happiness.

I Know That Was You, Lord

By Kay Heitsch

Sometimes I look up to Heaven, smile and say, "I know that was You, God. Thank You! ~ Trusting God Quotes ~

I've had several surprises from God. Some people may call it "luck' but I call it a blessing from God.

Just this morning, I was busy getting things ready to go to the cemetery and put things on Todd and GM&GP Z's graves. I like to put the little red cardinal on the top of Todd's stone.

I colored the cardinal with a magic marker, but I couldn't find the putty to hold it to the stone. I looked everywhere. Finally, I prayed. I had the thought of looking in the basement for a box of junk. There the puddy was. I smiled and knew it was God.

Our Bible verse says. The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. Psalm 126:3

I was filled with joy when I found that puddy. This may not seem great to most, but it was to me.

Sometimes I look up to Heaven, smile and say, "I know that was You, God. Thank You!

Joy Gives You Strength

By Kay Heitsch

A joyful attitude gives you power over your circumstances, rather than your circumstances having power over you. ~ Joy Gives You Strength Quotes ~

We're planning a get-together next week. I have a lot to get ready, but as long as I keep a joyful attitude, I have been able to enjoy the process. I've asked the Lord to help me remember what all I need to do and to also give me the energy to do it. So far so good.

Our Bible verse says. ...The joy of the LORD is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10

This is so true. The joy the LORD gives is our strength! Thank You, LORD!

A joyful attitude gives you power over your circumstances, rather than your circumstances having power over you.

Within Us

We all have something within us that this world needs. ~ Motivational Quotes ~

Our world needs a lot of things. Each one of us has something to offer. Sharing our faith is one of the best things we can give.

Our Bible verse says. As you share your faith with others, I pray they may come to know all the blessings Christ has given us. Philemon 1:6 CEV

What we as Believers have is the Holy Spirit living in us. When we share our faith and all the blessings that His Spirit gives, we are giving something that the world needs.

We all have something within us that this world needs.

Love Never Dies

By Kay Heitsch

Life is temporary, but love is eternal. ~ Love Never Dies Quotes ~

No one knows this better than a mother whose child has died. You find out very quickly that life here on earth is temporary when your child dies. You also find out that your love for that child did not die. In fact, your love for them continues to grow.

Our Bible verse says. Love never ends. 1 Corinthians 13

Praise God that we have this verse to let us know that love never ends. I truly believe our loved ones who have passed on continue to love us just like we still love them.

Life is temporary, but love is eternal.
