HAPPINESS

appiness is something you create in your minds, Not something you search for but can't seem to find, Not something that's purchased with silver or gold, Not something that force can capture and hold, It's just waking up and beginning each day By counting your blessings and kneeling to pray, It's giving up thoughts that breed discontent And accepting what comes as a gift heaven-sent. It's giving up wishing for things you have not And making the best of whatever you've got, It's knowing that life is determined and planned And that God holds the world in the palm of His hand. And it's by completing what God gives you to do That you find contentment and happiness too. Author Unknown

"A Mother's Temple"

Builder builded a temple; He wrought it with care and skill. Pillars and groins and arches, All fashioned to do his will. And men said, as they saw its beauty, “It never shall know decay. Great is thy skill, O builder! Thy fame shall endure for aye!”

A mother builded a temple With infinite loving care, Planning each arch with patience, Laying each stone with prayer. None praised her unceasing effort, None knew of her wondrous plan. For the temple the mother builded Was unseen by the eye of man.
Gone is the builder’s temple, Crumbled into the dust; Low lies each stately pillar, Food for consuming rust. But the temple the mother builded Will last while the ages roll, For that beautiful unseen temple Held a child’s immortal soul.
-Hattie V. Hall
