The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
Have you ever looked at someone who seemingly had it all, and yet, with everything they were the most miserable of people? We can readily see that in the examples Hollywood sets before us. Hurting, empty people who are rich in this world's goods but poor in peace and happiness. The Apostle Paul gives his own testimony of contentment in Philippians 4:11,
I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
I've also heard it said that to be happy, you don't have to have what you like; you just have to like what you have. I think that's a pretty accurate description. God help us today to be grateful for the blessings we have.
