The Key to Finding Happiness

“It is not how much we have,
but how much we enjoy,
that makes happiness.”
— Charles Spurgeon

This little gal finds happiness
in mixing and stirring
(oh, if only you could hear the pleasant chatter!)


I enjoy small blips of quietness and tidiness
amidst the mess and mayhem of memories😊💗

(Some people spring and fall clean.
I tend to winter-clean and reorganize 
because outdoor work is on pause!)
Rolling-pin-collection dusting is complete...
Why a rolling pin collection?!!
I have no idea other than once I started, I was amazed at
how many colours, shapes and sizes they come in...a bit like people😅

 


This life runs rife with choice and chance
That makes us pray or fuss/cuss
How we reply to circumstance
Is always up to us

This life runs rife with want and need
Awaiting our reply
Where common font of word and deed
Is up to you and I

This life runs rife with ups and downs
Beyond our control
A smorgasbord of smiles and frowns
To rankle and console

This life runs rife with so much care
Where all we have is lent
A feast to favor faith’s welfare
Is always God’s intent

This life runs rife with more or less
Of yes and no combined
The precious key to happiness
Is up to us to find

I am also enjoying some
Spurgeon , thanks to Christmas gifts!



Prov.3:13-18 KJV
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, 
and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, 
and the gain thereof than fine gold
15 She is more precious than rubies: 
and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her
16 Length of days is in her right hand;
 and in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, 
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: 
and happy is every one that retaineth her.
