In Phillipians 4 vs 8, "Finally brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,

whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious,

if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these

things.."

All the things that bring us joy are truly free. The characteristics to develop

nobility, justice, purity, beauty and graciousness are all free and learned from

hard lessons of experience. Hence, happiness is free. How can anyone put

a monetary value on love, on joy, and on kindness? It is impossible to think

of trying to categorize true acts of the spirit, which stem from the deepest core

of one's heart...Love...feeling the happiness of others and the sorrows of others,

we share in the One spirit of life, and therefore...are compassionate to ourselves

and for others. True happiness comes from within, and are derived from simple

pleasures of life. Watching a sunset and feeling the awe of the mystery of God,

or sharing in the joy of another's triumph...There is no greater force than love.

True love transforms everything and everyone it touches..and it is given by

the simplicity of one's being one's self...natural and pure, lovely and whole...

Happiness is free...what can you offer today to add to the beauty and

healing of this world?
