One day, one friend asked another,
“How is it that you are always so happy?
You have so much energy,
and you never seem to get down.”

With her eyes smiling, she said,
“I know the Secret!”
“What secret is that?”
To which she replied,
“I’ll tell you all about it,
but you have to promise to
share the Secret with others.”

“The Secret is this:
I have learned there is little I can do
in my life that will make me truly happy.
I must depend on God to make
me happy and to meet my needs.
When a need arises in my life,
I have to trust God to supply
According to HIS riches.
I have learned most of the time
I don’t need half of what I think I do.
He has never let me down.
Since I learned that ‘Secret’, I am happy”

The questioner’s first thought was,
“That’s too simple!”
But upon reflecting over her own life
she recalled how she thought a bigger house
would make her happy, but it didn’t!
She thought a better paying job
would make her happy, but it hadn’t
When did she realize her greatest happiness?
Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren,
playing games, eating pizza or reading a story,
A simple gift from God.

Now you know it too!
We can’t depend on people to make us happy.
Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that.
Trust HIM!
And now I pass the Secret on to you!
So once you get it, what will you do?

YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too!
That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU!
But it’s not really a secret…
We just have to believe it and do it…
Really trust God!

Editor, diplomat and poet James Russell Lowell had a wonderful attitude.
One day, when passing a building in the outskirts of Boston, he noticed an
identifying inscription: “Home for Incurable Children.” To a friend he
remarked, “They’ll get me in there some day.”

If he means that he’ll never be cured of an overriding enthusiasm for
living, then I also hope they’ll get me into a place like that some day. I
never want to outgrow my zeal for life. I never want to become so jaded as
to take living for granted.
