I was cleaning out old bins of pictures and things from my grandparents this week and i came across this hand typed mini sermon that my grandmother had made for her scrapbook. She was an amazing person; ran the sunday schools and missions, was a spiritual mentor who showed me God existed in all things, even little boys like me. Its a bit of inspiration i think many of us in the j6 community need badly because we have done nothing but strive for a goal of Freedom for four years and have lost our silent moments of communion with the Almighty. This sermonette was a reminder to slow down, to savor a moment, a minute, an hour…one at a time. And thus fortified and renewed, we reenter the battle for rightousness sake,! 
May this sooth and teach as Virginia Govin meant it to…


Greater Happiness, Now! 

Some wise person has written “ success is a journey, not a destination. Happiness is to be found along the way, not at the end of the road - for then the journey is over and it is too late. The time for happiness is today, not tomorrow.”

 If we wait to arrive at Happiness we shall be sadly disappointed in life. Happiness must be experienced as we journey a minute here, an hour there, occasionally a day, once in a while several days or a week. 

But the weeks and days and hours are all made up of minutes, and if we live for happy minutes, the hours and days and weeks will take care of themselves. We shall find our road through life a more pleasant one and spend less time worrying about the distant goal. 

A stream of happiness opportunities is flowing past us continuously; during the hours we spend at home: in the office or store, or shop where we work: as we walk along the street, as we travel by train, car,  plane or by bus: in short, wherever we are and whatever we are doing. 

We would do well to adopt this creed, written a century ago by Steven Grillet. 

“I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not deter or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” ❤️‍🔥🇺🇲

Amen
