Secret to happiness...

Oh my children, do you know that I worry for you??  Do you know how much I want you to realize that good decisions lead to happiness??  I'm not saying the Lord protects us from trials if we follow Him.  I'm saying if we make good decisions, that support can carry us through our trials.  Maxine, I don't worry about you so much.  You're stubborn and follow the Lord because that's the road you've chosen and no one is going to tell you otherwise.  Jack, I'm a little afraid you could be swayed because you're easygoing and tend to follow what's going on because that's easy.  Juliet, you want so much to follow what's trendy that I worry you could go down a wrong path.  Please be an example my kids!  Make good friends so it's easy to make right choices. *sigh*  I've watched friends and family have to struggle and experience hardships mostly because of poor decisions.  The Lord sent us to Earth so we could have our agency.  It's such a beautiful gift.  He and I want so much for you to be happy.  So just remember, good decisions=happiness.
