Happy am I...

A good friend would say, 'Happy am I' This was his way of dealing with everything that came his way. If fun came, then happy was he. If pain came, then, happy was he.
Such a simple philosophy and yet so deep because it teaches us how to embrace God's Will at all times.

God is not a judge. He cares so much for us that we cannot fathom this kind of Love. Yet, like the loving parent, God allows suffering. This can be hard for us to grasp. How can love and suffering go hand in hand?

This is the mystery of life. We love, and we get hurt. The result, suffering. It would seem to be that love creates a kind of suffering, what one might call the 'teaching' kind.

We know we are not perfect, so we have a lot to learn in life and our best 'teacher' is Love.

Open the book of the positive and learn how to handle suffering with love.
