Love and Laughter

"Be calm, be true, be quiet. I watch over you. Rest in My Love. Joy in the very Beauty of Holiness. You are mine. Deliverance is here for you, but Thankfulness and Joy open the gates. Try in all things to be very glad, very happy, very thankful. It is not to quiet resignation I give my blessings, but to joyful acceptance and anticipation. Laughter is the outward expression of Joy. That is why I urge upon you Love and Laughter." From the book "God Calling".

I have learned that having thankfulness and acceptance of all things in my life is the only true way of happiness and joy in this worldly life. It is not always easy to be so when parts of life are hard or sad and there are times when I find it difficult to be thankful for what I have. Nonetheless, I find that when I am thankful, even for the rough roads, I do find an inner joy that heals the wounds upon me. To love and to laugh makes my life joyful and, therefore, thankfulness seems to come naturally.

Today I am grateful to know how to love and laugh and to be thankful and joyful.
