When my schedule is full, it is an opportunity for something to go
wrong. I've lived long enough to realize that something going wrong is 
always an option. When I think I've got everything in line and I'm 
ready to take the next step, something blows up in my face. 

That is enough to make me sad and even angry. I see a lot of angry
people in this world. I can choose to be angry or to be happy. The 
choice is all mine. 

It's taken me almost a lifetime to understand that and to choose
happiness under every circumstance. 

The other day I had a doctor's appointment across town. Just a checkup
that the doctors like to do. I went out, got in my truck, and it would 
not start. I did everything I could possibly think of, but nothing got 
that truck running. 

That was a real recipe for some anger in my situation. I finally had to
call AAA to have them come and start up my truck. When he came, he 
discovered that it was the battery. It took him about an hour to fix my 
truck and get it running. In the meantime, I had to cancel my doctor's 
appointment and reschedule it. 

I was a little bit agitated. When I walked into the house, The Gracious
Mistress of the Parsonage greeted me and said, "Are you happy now?" 

She caught me with pie in my face. I looked at her, smiled very gently,
and said, "I am now!" 

I found some scripture that supports my happiness. 

Proverbs 3:13, “Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that
getteth understanding.” 

My happiness is not found in the world, but in my personal relationship
with God through the Lord Jesus Christ.
