“Sometimes we place huge expectations on others concerning us and our lives and our own happiness..we expect so much from someone else to create for us happiness..and when they fall short or don’t meet that expectation we get very upset about it..and we sulk around feeling very sorry for ourselves..Amen..and we let the whole day be ruined because such and such didn’t do this or that..Amen..and so we lose a whole day of happiness..we lose a whole day of getting things done..and we just miss out on life in and of itself..because how many of ya know no one wants to be around a complainer..a grumbler..a person that expects..Amen..we cannot expect so much from others for us and our own lives and our own happiness..we must take control over us and our happiness..Amen..so this morning I just honestly came to say to everyone that reads or happens to read this devotion too create your own happiness..Amen..whatever in the world that may look like for you..because we all have full plates in life..we all have life in and of itself that we must do..but on the side note we as well must LIVE our lives and live them happily..we can’t always be mad and upset about everything..expecting others to do for us continually..to make us happy..Amen..we have to take hold of that and do it for ourselves..I say create the atmosphere in your life that you, yourself wants to live in..and live there in that place..I say to buy the flowers and place them on your desk or on the counter top in the kitchen..who knows choose a day of the week where you just get away and go to the beach..or take a ride to the mountains..go hiking..go fishing..be spontaneous..be free in your life..paint the picture..tend a garden..bake the cake..I don’t know but there are many things in life that people love that they can do for themselves to be happy..Amen!”

“So what I’m going to say is this don’t ever give someone else the keys to your happiness..Amen..because that is a BIG key too say the least..and our happiness is a HUGE thing for us and our lives in which we live..and happiness is wonderful..Praise the Lord..it is a beautiful gift from our Father..for you see laughter the bible says does good like a medicine..Proverbs 17:22..and when we sulk around and we wait on someone to bless us and make our lives happy..well than we begin to get depressed..we begin to expect..and we begin to get mad and angry and upset and so on and so on..until we are just these overbearing people..walking around unhappy..and discounted with us and our own lives in which we have freedom to live..so whatever makes you happy do that..Amen..be your own happiness..create as I say your happiness..of course along with Jesus whom is our very best friend in life..for life is meant to be lived..and lived well so my heart is we all live this life that we have well..and completely free and happy..Amen..so let us all work on that..letting nothing or no one steal our joy, peace, happiness and or freedom..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 ❤
