“Good morning world. Your Bible verse for today is Psalm 37:8. This is the scripture I have researched and picked to highlight my blog thoughts this morning. Now as I continue with my seasonal theme, Happy Anniversary. And making that celebrating statement that has just come out of nowhere! Since celebrating an anniversary SEEMS to have NOTHING to do with anything else that I have been writing about. In that clue that something else we need to celebrate has come our way. Today, while totally changing my line of writing in an odd way. I am going to stop thinking about things that have to do with summer. But still thinking about TIME flying by. Right now, I will be writing about Anniversaries, happiness, sadness, and even Anger that comes into our life. And thinking about Anniversaries that have again come our way. I am now wondering have you ever had a Happy Anniversary day? And asking you that cool lead in yearly question, are you wondering what an Anniversary today means to you? Well, my best guess would be… that means Nothing too… But to me saying HAPPY ANNIVERSARY means EVERYTHING! Because on my away back home, I have just been happily married for 50 YEARS! So, Today absolutely means everything to me! And since this is my GOLDEN 50th WEDDING Anniversary that got me thinking about the words Happy and Anniversary. Then going along our way, I again started wondering….is an Anniversary just one day? And what about the word Happy? Is it possible to be Happy EVERY DAY? And thinking about the word HAPPY, what all is involved with being HAPPILY MARRIED FOR 50 YEARS!…Does that mean along the way WE WERE ONLY HAPPY? DOES BEING HAPPILY MARRIED FOR 50 YEARS MEAN THAT THERE WERE NO TEARS? DOES BEING HAPPILY MARRIED FOR 50 YEARS MEAN THAT THERE WERE NO FEARS? And of even more interest DOES BEING HAPPILY MARRIED FOR 50 YEARS MEAN THAT THERE WERE NO FIGHTS OR ANGER? AND here is another SEEKING HAPPINESS question too. IS IT TRULY POSSIBLE TO BE HAPPY YOUR WHOLE LIFE THROUGH? ALSO IS THERE REALLY SUCH A THING AS HAPPILY EVER AFTER TOO. Well again for me on my away back home, thinking about the word HAPPY. Today I am very happy. Because HAPPILY I am celebrating my 50TH Wedding Anniversary that has again brought me Happiness. And surviving the Fights, Tears, Pains, Disappointments, Stress, Tests, Messes, ANGER, SADNESS, UNREST, and Fears. I love that we have been HAPPILY married for 50 YEARS! Understandably to me, with the emphasis being placed on “HAPPILY” that’s exciting! No, I take that back, that 50 YEAR GOLDEN ACCOMPLISHMENT IS REALLY THRILLING! And that’s good to know, because being Happy to some people is still a mystery surrounded in Fear, ANGER and Tears! So, since that is true KNOWING THAT YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY TOO. It looks like I need to make things clearer for you! Because I know right now you are wondering WHAT DOES it takes OR WHAT WILL IT TAKE OUT OF YOU….to be Happy and full of cheer EVEN IF ANGER, SADNESS, TEARS, AND FEARS HAVE FILLED SOME OF THE YEARS. And I know there are also some of you who are wondering WHAT WILL IT OR TAKE OUT OF YOU to be happily married for 50 YEARS! Additionally, I know that you are also wondering if you CAN be HAPPILY MARRIED…. if you KEEP LIVING IN FEAR. And how can you be Happy if you keep CRYING BIG TEARS? Also thinking about things differently. Can you be HAPPY if YOUR YEARS HAVE HAD ANGER AND SADNESS IN THEM TOO. AND in another CLUE can you be happy if Love has never come near…Likewise Can you be Happy if you are NOT MARRIED?…And in that HAPPILY EVER AFTER REVIEW, IF YOU ARE ALONE AND THERE IS NOBODY AT HOME is it possible for you to have a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY too? Bottom line, can you be HAPPY if you are NOT HAPPILY MARRIED? And looking at your calendar realizing today is NOT YOUR ANNIVERSARY DAY… Are you also wondering why you are NOT HAPPY IN ANY WAY! Are you also wondering why you are ANGRY AND SAD while feeling empty inside. Are you additionally wondering if it’s possible to be HAPPY IF YOU ARE ANGRY OR MAD. Likewise THINKING ABOUT 50 YEARS! Are you wondering what MY SECRET IS TO BEING HAPPY ALSO FULL OF CHEER! So once more wondering about the celebrating dates coming early or late surrounding Happiness… that might not come at all. FOR YOU TO HAVE A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, here are some more questions for you over all! On your away back home, What is the secret to being happy? Where can you find that happiness key? How can you assure yourself a Happy Anniversary? And thinking that way I feel like a much better question should be!…… WHAT DOES IT TAKE, OR WHAT WILL IT TAKE OUT OF YOU TO BE HAPPY? Yes indeed “to be happy or not to be happy” that will always be the main conflicting nightmare, or dreamy question it seems! Therefore, trying to answer that CONFLICTED dilemma inquiry when everybody around you is always Celebrating something, and everybody else seems so FRIGIN Happy…. I have to ask you some more questions. NUMBER ONE Is…ANYBODY really happy in their life? Or is Happiness just another unkind lie? Okay, is being happy just another heart attacking act? Is being happy an alibi?!And with everybody talking about happiness wondering WHILE WONDERING WHO IS REALLY HAPPY. WITH YOU BEING SAD, ANGRY OR MAD ALL OF THE TIME….WHY ARE YOU NOT HAPPY! And…WITH YOU WANTING TO HAVE A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY AS YOU KEEP TRYING TO SURVIVE THE FEARS, TEARS, also ANGER INSIDE, AND TO SURVIVE THE FIGHTS! Here is another question for you as the time is passing by….WILL YOU EVER BE HAPPY IF ALL YOU DO IS CRY? And if you are sad, ANGRY, or mad are you aware that the people who made you like that won’t EVER remember what they did. So here is another thought IF THEY CAN FORGIVE AND FORGET.. you can too. Don’t let the past take away your happy future! And thinking like that way, one more time, what if you will never be happy with the same fat, snoring, lazy guy that you are sleeping next to, night after night. What if you find it hard to be happy fight after FIGHT! What if NOTHING IS RIGHT? What if you CAN NOT hang on? What if you are NOT THAT STRONG? What if you are UNABLE to endure the FEARS, also TEARS day and night? AND ONE MORE TIME! WHAT MAKES HAPPINESS SO FRIGIN HARD TO FIND! Also, on the other side OF MARRIAGE. What if you are a man living with the same old saggy woman. And as you are watching her put her makeup ON that’s not right. 50 YEARS LATER AFTER she is getting less attractive, while the stinky LYING creams are NOT WORKING. And her face is getting SCARIER day after frightening wrinkled displayed night. While time passes away… OH NO WHAT IF AS YOU GET OLDER Happiness has NOT come to stay! OR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF LIFE… what if you are NOT married…. DOES THAT MEAN HAPPINESS WILL NEVER COME YOUR WAY? AND IF THAT IS THE CASE What then? What if you can’t be happy IN YOUR PLACE? OH NO WHAT IF THERE WILL NEVER BE A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DAY? And feeling that way are you wondering will you EVER have a Happy day if there is no Happily Ever After coming your way? And those are all good INSIGHTFUL SURVIVAL THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE OR WHAT YOU HAVE LOST! That’s why you need to remember when you are Angry, sad, or mad the people who made you like that won’t remember what they did. So, if they can forgive and Forget you can too. Don’t let the past take away your happy future. And saying that over again, that’s why, on your away back home, NOT WANTING YOU TO BE ALONE the answer to ALL OF THOSE insights is THIS! CONTENTMENT all depends on how you are trying to find your HAPPINESS. And finding HAPPINESS all depends on how you define LOVE and LIFE. So are you wanting to just be Happy on this earth with just one person! OR are you wanting TO BE HAPPY NOW and forevermore with the LORD and the Heavenly hosts ! Well as for me EVEN BEFORE I WAS MARRIED FOR 50 YEARS! I have always FOUND HAPPIENSS ON EARTH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING MARRIED. Because TRUE HAPPINESS comes from INSIDE. TRUE HAPPINESS COMES FROM FINDING THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE. TRUE HAPPINESS COMES FROM BEING HAPPY WITH WHO YOU ARE. THAT’S WHY TO BE HAPPY INSIDE, AS YOU FIND THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE, WHILE YOU ARE HAPPY WITH WHO YOU ARE….. YOU NEED TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR, BECAUSE TRUE HAPPINESS IS NOT ABOUT BEING MARRIED. TRUE HAPPINESS IS ABOUT YOUR HEAVENLY SALAVATION DATE THAT YOU NEED TO RECEIVE. So yes I know having a Happy Anniversary day IS GREAT FOR ME! Yes being HAPPILY MARRIED FOR 50 YEARS will always be very special indeed! And I know our love daily NEEDS TO BE CELEBRATED! But I also know my wedding celebration pales in the presence of MY HEAVENLY HAPPILY EVER AFTER ANNIVERSARY DATE…That is my ETERNAL ANNIVERSARY that arrived on the DATE I accepted JESUS CHRIST INTO MY LIFE. Because it has always been THE HAPPINESS I HAVE INSIDE…. THAT HAS KEPT ME HAPPY IN MY MARRIAGE AND LIFE EVEN WHEN I WANTED TO CRY. SO, YOU ASK ME HOW I HAVE STAYED HAPPY ALL OF THIS TIME. IT’S BECAUSE I KNOW JESUS CHRIST! YES, IT’S BEEN MY HAPPINESS INSIDE THAT HAS MADE SURE I ENDURED THE FIGHTS. IT’S ALSO BEEN THE HEAVENLY HAPPINESS INSIDE, THAT HAS MADE SURE I COULD SMILE THROUGH THE TEARS AND FEARS! LIKEWISE IT’S BEEN MY INNER HAPPINESS… THAT HAS TURNED MY ANGER INTO LAUGHTER! BOTTOM LINE…. IT’S BECAUSE OF JESUS CHRIST THAT I HAVE BEEN HAPPILY MARRIED MOST ALL OF MY LIFE! SO HERE IS SOME GREAT MARITAL AND LIFE ADVICE..THAT WILL HELP YOU SURVIVE THE FACTS OF LIFE.FIRST AND FORMOST FIND YOUR HAPPINESS INSIDE WITH JESUS CHRIST. SECOND FIGHT QUIET…That means if somebody picks a Fight DON’T FIGHT BACK! BE QUIET DON’T SAY A WORD. ALSO DON’T WALK AWAY. STAND STRONG IN THE LORD! LET THE OTHER ONE BE ANGRY! LET THEM YELL AT YOU!…BUT YOU STAY SILENT ALL THE FIGHT THROUGH….THEN PRETTY SOON WITH THEM LOSING THE FIGHT THEY WILL REALIZE THAT THEY ARE FIGHTING WITH THEMSELF. AND WHEN THEY DO FIGURE THAT OUT. AND WHEN THEY ARE TIRED OF YELLING AT THEMSELVES AND YOU. THEN THEY WILL GET QUIET TOO! AND IN THE HAPPY, PEACEFUL, QUIETNESS INSIDE OF YOU! THAT’S WHEN YOU TOO WILL WIN THE FIGHT BY FINDING HAPPINESS IN LIFE. AND HERE IS SOME MORE GOOD LIFE ADVICE. IN REVIEW IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY NOW AND HAPPY IN THE AFTER LIFE TOO…FIND YOUR HAPPINESS WITH JESUS CHRIST. TURN AWAY FROM ANGER. FIND YOUR PEACEFUL STRENGTH INSIDE and then you will be HAPPY ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN YOU WANT TO CRY…And that’s more great SURVIVAL advice!
