James Barrie writes:
“Happiness is the art of finding joy and
satisfaction in the little privileges of life:
a quiet hour in the sun instead of a far-away
journey;
a little outing in the nearby woods instead
of long trips away;
an hour with a friend instead of an
extended visit with relatives,
a few pages of a book instead of hours of
reading at a time,
a flash of sunset, a single beautiful flower, a passing smile, a kindly word, a little gift
bestowed anonymously, a little
thoughtfulness here and there as the
days slip by.”

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”

— Philippians 2:3 (NIV)

Lord Jesus, help us to enjoy all the blessings You have bestowed on our lives. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
