SABRINA There was a man who looking back on his life following a near-death experience observed: AI’ve spent so much time having fun, I never had time to be happy.” He had discovered fun and happiness are not the same. Fun is a temporary pleasure that=s gone when the party=s over. There is nothing wrong with having fun. We need it. But it=s not enough to sustain a spirit of joy. Happiness grows along with us as we build something significant and lasting. For example, parents of an infant are lucky if they get a full night=s sleep. That is no fun, but their baby is a joy. And it can be a joy through all the struggle, pain, and commitment it takes to parent the child through the years ahead. The same can be said for marriage, close friendships - Happiness is a product of lasting relationships. Jesus knew the need for relationships and modeled it through His interactions with the disciples - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Go today, not just looking for fun but finding happiness along the way and sharing it with those closest to you!
