One day, one friend asked another,
"How is it that you are always so happy?
You have so much energy,
and you never seem to get down."



With her eyes smiling, she said,
"I know the Secret!"
"What secret is that?"
To which she replied,
"I'll tell you all about it,
but you have to promise to
share the Secret with others."



"The Secret is this:
I have learned there is little I can do
in my life that will make me truly happy.
I must depend on God to make
me happy and to meet my needs.
When a need arises in my life,
I have to trust God to supply
according to HIS riches.
I have learned most of the time
I don't need half of what I think I do.
He has never let me down.
Since I learned that 'Secret', I am happy."




The questioner's first thought was,
"That's too simple!"
But upon reflecting over her own life
she recalled how she thought a bigger house
would make her happy, but it didn't!
She thought a better paying job
would make her happy, but it hadn't.
When did she realize her greatest happiness?
Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren,
playing games, eating pizza or reading a story,
a simple gift from God.



Now you know it too!
We can't depend on people to make us happy.
Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that.
Trust HIM!
And now I pass the Secret on to you!
So once you get it, what will you do?




YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too!
That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU!
But it's not really a secret...
We just have to believe it and do it...
Really trust God!

Monday Melody

Monday... Melody

Mama rose in early morn
Before the sun would shine,
set the boiler on the stove
To start the wash by 9.

She rolled that old Maytag
Then put the coffee on,
Baked a batch of muffins, 'cause
The homemade bread was gone.

While Daddy filled the washtubs,
We helped to sort the clothes;
Laid them on the kitchen floor
In colored piles and rows.

We all sat 'round the table,
Asked God to bless this day;
When breakfast time was over,
the boys went out to play.

Was time to fill the wash machine,
Pour bluing in one tub,
Then Mama brought the scrubbing board,
"Those white sock you must rub."

Soon the house was filled with steam;
The air smelled fresh and clean.
I listened to the rhythmic tunes
Played by that old machine.

Then back and forth and up and down
The agitator'd bang,
That hand-turned wringer, old and worn,
At times, would loudly clang!

It took us all the livelong day
Just to get the laundry done,
Then hang it on the outside lines
Was work for everyone.

When dried and fluffy, brought it in
To fold and put away.
Two baskets full of sprinkled clothes
I would iron them next day.
