Happiness

2008-02-08T10:15:00.000-08:00

To Be Happy

You’ve got to be straight to be happy,

You’ve got to be square as a die.

Through wrong may come infinite pleasures,

But they fade, and they fly.

You’ve got to take life at its noblest

If you want to have gladness that counts,

Want the verve and the zeal of the spirit

That lifts you along as it mounts.

And, Oh! how it pays out of goodness

To draw for each day as we strive

Some measures of clean, healthy gladness,

In our work, and for being alive!

You’ve got to be true to be happy,

Be true to yourself over all,

And be blind to the lure of evil,

And deaf to its powerful call.

To set up high standards and keep them,

With the records so straight and so true,

For nothing can ever condemn them,

If that is your creed, it will do.

You’ve got to be clean to be happy,

You’ve got to be steadfast and pure

If you want what fife gives that is earnest,

That will help, and will hold, and endure.

(Baltimore Sun)

How great thou art

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,

When I look down from lofty mountain granduer,

And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze,

(How great thou art- a hymn)

Happiness

“Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God” -Joseph Smith

Service

2007-11-17T09:26:00.000-08:00

Service is to be given unselfishly, with no thought of personal gain or reward. It is to be given as needed, not when convenient. Opportunities to serve may not always seem obvious, as it is human nature to worry about our own wants and needs. We must resist such tendencies and look for opportunities to serve.
