My word for 2016: Happiness
Hello and welcome to my first post of 2016! I'm a bit shocked at writing this post, as I I haven't picked a word for the year for myself for a few years. I hadn't planned on choosing a word this year till recently. But because last year had SO many challenges for me and I gave so much of myself and felt so drained of energy by the end of the year. it just seemed appropriate to decide on a specific word for 2016. Definition from Dictionary.com "The state of being happy." synonyms: pleasure , contentment , satisfaction , cheerfulness, merriment , gaiety , joy , joyfulness, joviality, jollity , glee , delight , good spirits, lightheartedness,well-being, enjoyment ; exuberance , exhilaration , elation , ecstasy , jubilation , rapture , bliss, blissfulness I've been reading and praying about the word - happiness - in Scripture, in Christian theological writings and blogs. I'm learning that happiness is not something God
Peace is a "good thing". Am overwhelmed and overjoyed when it snuggles into my heart.

In His Lo♥e, Ann
This is indeed the peace we need.. thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy first time here from Katie's site! Such a peaceful image, Ann! And, yes, I think on that scripture daily ... and of His peace. It takes effort to keep our mind steadfast with all the busy-ness in our lives, but somehow it happens, and I am grateful! Where would we be, what would our lives be like without that strong high tower to run to! That's where we find the rest we so need ... only in His presence!! Your site is wonderful with so much to check out ... my first stop, 'The Happy Wives Club' that I noticed down there in the left hand corner! I love quotes - especially positive ones!! :) You have a blessed week, and I look forward to visiting again!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found me Deborah! I also so thankful for God's peace that passes all understanding! You'll love Fawn's posts at the Happy Wives Club, too! She's an awesome lady! Come on back here soon!
