What Makes You Happy?

This week for the first time, I decide to go to an acupuncture office.  For very, very long time I had low back problems.  So, I went to my appointment, after tons, and tons of medical history questions the lady finally asks me, “what make you happy?”  I did not think for one second, and response very quickly, “Nature, God, my kids, and certain TV shows that I watch from time to time depending of my mood.” She said, “wow that was quick, and they are good answers” I said, “really?” she said, “yes! Most people don’t know what to answer to that question or just say spouse and kids” What about you? Do you have to think hard or were very easy to think what makes you happy?

Because of my nature of think, and think most of the time I think about my conversations during the day. As I was laying down with my needles all over my body, I start thinking in that question, what makes me happy? Yes, all the things that I mention to her makes me happy, but I didn’t mention something that I think makes me really happy, LOVE! I not only refer to relationship love, I mean all kind of love. For example on Wednesday blog sees all the responses, and how we as a Christian group we can share, and backup one to each other, that love makes me happy.

God teach us with His own example that love plays an important roll in our live.  We should live around love! Every thing that you do, do it with love, and because of love.  You need to wake up in the middle of the night because you son have a nightmare, you do it because of love, when you help somebody cross the street, you do it because of love, when you friend call you because need help or advise or a simple listening, you do it because of love. When you forgive somebody that hurts you, you do it because of love. When you stop the fight with you significant other and just let it be to avoid make it bigger fight, you do it because of love. Today I am going to do something that I love! Backpacking for the weekend, so, pray for me so the cold weather doesn’t bother me too much!!!

Remember the two more important commandments that God let us…

Matthew 22:34-40

34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.

Have a great weekend!

Big Hug!
