“Happy!”

“I have learned over the years that what people can control they will continue..Amen..in other words..if they wanna have a bad attitude or do things they know they shouldn’t or act ways they know is wrong..and just be how ever they choose to be..because they can stop it or start it at their own convenience..well..then that is when they continue the bad behaviors..Amen..kinda like a child..a child can turn it on or turn it off pretty quickly when they get their way..Amen..they can be throwing the worst of a fit..and then all of a sudden if you begin to speak their language of whatever it is that they were wanting..then immediately it turns off..Amen..but it gets worse and is worse with adults..if they get by with things..if they can control their behaviors and they know this well as I say the behavior continues..Amen..but this morning I was thinking about how true it is at how when you wake up it is then in that moment that you choose your day..Amen..for many tell me Mandi you are always so happy and smiling..Amen..and this is true..but years ago I would be however I choose to be..I would act however I wanted to act..and that’s just how that was..if I wanted to be sad or pout or whatever to try and get my way..Amen!”

“Until one day I couldn’t control the unhappiness..or the pouting..or the sadness..Amen..and so I went through a rough and hard time..for many years..and when you get there to that place in your life..well..you will wake up and you will take hold of your thoughts and your actions..Isaiah 55:8-9..and you will choose to be happy and focus on your blessings..and on Gods goodness to you and your life..Amen..and this is what I tell others..when you are in control and you can control you well you do act and behave however..but one day that may change and then you can’t..and you have to go through hard times..to get out of that..and it is a huge lesson..so in the mornings in the daytime..in the nighttime..in every time that concerns you and your life..choose happy..Amen..don’t be so sad..and don’t be so ungrateful..and don’t whatever you do pout around until you get your way acting as a child..1 Corinthians 13:11-13..but rather just choose once again happy..and place a smile on your face..because God has been so good to us..and we should be grateful and we should make sure that we are expressing that to this world and to our family in which we live..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
