Do you feel blessed, grateful, joyful and happy? Probably not. We live in a competitive world where we see each gift as a stepping stone to the next higher achievement. We want more and we're never really quite satisfied with where we are and yet never quite arrive at where we want to go. We live by wanting more, but don't stop to think if the 'more' we're pursuing will truly make us happy or just more addicted. We are blessed by God with what we need in order to make us who we should be and to fill the emptiness in our souls . Happiness and Joy are gifts God offers to us to change our focus and lead us in a new direction of healthy living. Each blessing from God is a catalyst to think about the great invitation questions "Why me?" Key Questions: After a long week of work, where you've giving your life to some project in exchange for resources, are you content with what you've done or are you more driven to achieve more? Is your life dominated by the fear of what may happen, or contended with the knowledge of what has happened? Is your life more in your hands or more in God's hands? Are you ready for a change?
