Happiness is something
we create in our mind,
It's not something you search for
and so seldom find.
It's just waking up
and beginning the day,
By counting our 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 we have not,
And making the best of
whatever we've got.
It's knowing that life
is determined for us,
And pursuing our tasks
without fret, fume or fuss.
For it's by completing
what God gives us to do,
That we find real contentment
and happiness, too.
- Helen Steiner Rice

Be it unto me as you have said.

I will know the voice of Jesus and hear his words.

I will keep at the feet of Jesus and love him unto death.
Don't let your parents down
They brought you up
Be humble enough to obey
You may give orders someday
Choose your companions with care
You become what they are
Guard your thoughts
What you think, you are
Choose only a date
Who would make a good mate
Be master of your habits
Or they will master you
Don't be a show off when you drive
Drive with safety and arrive
Don't let the crowd pressure you
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything
