The Answered Wishes

            Two of my wishes has been realized  today. First is the approval of my promotion, second  is my change of name in the payroll.Thanks God that positive energy is coming my way. Things do happen according to God's plan, we just have to wait. My heart feels joy today.
I remember Psalm 33:(1-7)
All you that are righteous, shout for joy for what the Lord has done;
praise him, all you that obey him.
Give thanks to the Lord with harps, singed to Him with stringed instruments.
Sing a new song to him, play the harp with skill, and shout for joy!

The words of the Lord are true, and all his works are dependable.
The Lord love what is righteous and just;
his constant love fills the earth.

Evening Prayer for Help

Psalm 4: 1-8

         Answer me when I pray, O God, my defender!
         When I was in trouble, you helped me.
          Be kind to me now and hear my prayer.

         How long will you people insult me?
         How long will you love what is worthless
         and go after what is false?

         Remember that the Lord has chosen the righteous
         for his own,
         and He hears me when I call to him.

         Tremble with fear and stop sinning;
         think deeply about this,
         when you lie in silence on your beds.
         Offer the right sacrifices to the Lord,
         and put your trust in him.

         There are many who pray:
          " Give us more blessings, O Lord.
         Look on us with kindness!"
         But the joy that you have given me
         is more than they will ever have
         with all their grain and wine.

        When I lie down, I go to sleep in peace;
         you alone, O lord, keep me perfectly safe.

TRUE HAPPINESS

PSALM 1:1-12
Happy are those who reject the advices of evil people,
Who do not follow the example of sinners
or join those who have no use for God
Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the Lord,
And they study it day and night.


They are like trees that grow beside a stream,
that bear fruit at the right time,
and whose leaves do not dry up,
They succeed in everything they do.


But evil people are not like this at all;
they are like straw that the wind blows away.
Sinners will be condemned by God and kept apart from God's own people.
The righteous are guided and protected by the Lord,
but the evil are on the way to their doom.

"The good life , as I conceived it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good, you will be happy; I mean that if you are happy you will be good." - Bertrand Russell

"We can travel a long way and do many things, but our deepest happiness is not born from accumulating new experiences. It is born from letting go of what is  unnecessary and knowing ourselves to be always at home."- Sharon Salzberg
