Happiness is not dependent on happenings, but on relationships in the happenings.  

~~Corrie Ten Boom  

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

If you are looking for happiness, you won’t find it by yourself. Think about it. Celebrating a graduation, the birth of a child, or a new job loses some of its cheer unless you can share it with someone. Joy fills our hearts when we are connected to others. Sharing our experiences—whether it’s attending a wedding or baking cookies—makes all the difference.

God knows this. From the beginning, he created a partner for Adam because he knew that man by himself was not good. We are created for community, to be with others, to share in the joys, the struggles, the successes, and the disappointments with those around us.

You want to find happiness? Look for it no further than a long walk with a spouse, a cup0 of coffee with a good friend, a book shared with a child, the fellowship of worshiping with other believers, or a quiet moment of thankfulness with your Creator.

Prayer for Meditation

Lord, thank you for the many people you have brought into my life who bring my joy.

And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:25
