It's Okay to be Happy

Proverbs 17:22: A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit drains one's strength.

Philippians 4:4-7 Keep on rejoicing in the Lord at all times. I will say it again: Keep on rejoicing! Let your gracious attitude be known to all people. The Lord is near: Never worry about anything. Instead, in every situation, let your petitions be made known to God through prayers and requests with thanksgiving. Then God's peace, far beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your hearts and minds in union with the Messiah Jesus.

The peace of God, the comfortable sense of being reconciled to God, having a part in His favor, and the hope of the heavenly blessedness are a greater good than can be fully expressed. This peace will keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus, keep us from sinning under troubles and sinking under them; it will keep us calm and with inward satisfaction.

Psalm 144:15 Happy are the people to whom these things come; happy are those whose God is the Lord.
Proverbs 3:13 Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding.

And about wisdom
Proverbs 3:18 She is a tree of life for those who embrace her, and whoever clutches her tightly will be joyful.

Chickadees are currently building a nest in my bluebird house, located just outside my sunroom. These small birds are often associated with cheerfulness and positive attitudes. They thrive in a variety of environments and weather conditions, which highlights the importance of being adaptable and flexible. Chickadees are resilient, bold, and fearless, yet they have an endearing quality.

I will enjoy watching these happy little birds interact with their surroundings and remind myself that it's perfectly okay to be happy and content in any circumstances.
