If you want 2 be happy, then wake up and do something more!

Have you done anything good in the world today?
Have you helped anyone in need?
Have you cheered up the sad, or made someone feel glad?
If not you have failed in deed!
Has anyone's burdon been lightened today..
Because you were willing to share?
Has the sick or the weary, been helped on their way?
When they needed your help, were you there?
THEN Wake up! and do something more,
Than dream of your mansions above.
Doing good is a pleasure, a joy beyond measure,
A blessing of goodness and love.

If you want to be happy, forgive!

We have all heard the story from the Bible of the Prodigal Son.  If you have not read it or understand it, listen to this beautiful video, that sheds a greater light on the Good son.  It is very difficult to forgive others who have trespassed against us, who have hurt us deeply, or sinned against us, but forgiveness is what brings happiness.  There are so many stories of people who have forgiven someone who has taken the life of their child.  How could you ever forgive that, but somehow they did.  You can forgive too, and the burden of harboring hate, anger, pain, loss and all the other emotions surrounding the injury that came to you from another, can be lifted.  Your load lifted, your burden lighter, and joy and love can once again return to your heart.  I hope you will enjoy the message from this amazing video, and take it into your heart remembering, "If you want 2 be happy, then forgive!"
