A Smoky Mountain HI

Here is a journey I make each day. Time flows on this side of eternity. I have aged as gracefully as reasonable as can be be expected, and yet feel not a day older in my mind. As I begin a life in the Smoky Mountains I hope you will share my journey as well. www.kleincabin.com

Happiness is a choice! Not always an easy choice but one that Christians have the privilege of embracing. “As a man thinketh in his heart so is he”. The New Testament we are reminded to “think on this things” whatsoever things that are good, whatsoever things lovely , and whatsoever things are of good report …Think on these!

If we are doing this type of thinking on some kind of a regular basis we have to have happiness. Happiness is the fruit of joy. We as Christians are hardwired into the only source of true joy in the universe! Happiness will overtake the faithful, so if you are faithful you will be overtaken by happiness! So be prepared!

Feelings are the most fickle part of our psyche. We may feel sad because of some circumstances in our lives but as those circumstances pass or take a proper place the greater scheme of our lives joy is still there. Joy is the energy of the shine in the Light set upon a hilltop that you are to represent.

Sadness is the feeling of sorrow while happiness is the feeling of joy.
