One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.

Archibald Rutledge

The only way on earth to multiply happiness is to divide it.

Paul Scherer

Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.

Storm Jameson

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Matthew 7:12

Dear Lord, Thank you for the promise of Your word. Thank you for the gift of life. When I would choose to stay and rest on the blessings You've given me, remind me there will always be time for my comfort, but now is the time to love others. Thank you for the special people you place in my life. Help me to hear Your soft, gentle call as You work through me to accomplish Your will. Amen.
