Dear Friend In Pursuit of Happiness & Peace,





Acts 17:24-28,
“God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’”




C.S. Lewis Song {Brook Fraser} lyrics

If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,
I can only conclude that I was not made for here
If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary,
then of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm compared

[CHORUS]
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan
as I wait for hope to come for me
Am I lost or just less found?
On the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?

Is this a soul that stirs in me,
is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
'Cause my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
And avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath,
so we better breathe it
And I,
I was made to live,
I was made to love,
I was made to know you

Hope is coming for me
Hope, He's coming


He's always here waiting & longing for you, my friend...

Sincerely,

Dear Mindful Friend,

“People are just about as happy 

as they make up their minds to be.”

 ~Abraham Lincoln~


Our thoughts are powerful. 
 
Do you ever think about your thoughts? 

The life we lead is created and driven by our thoughts.

Will your thoughts will lead to happiness today?

What will you choose?



proverbs 23:7
"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he"
