Pursuit of Happiness

Has this life
disappointed you,
let you down?
Has this life your living
dealt you one too many frowns?
Are you a lost soul looking around;
Come with me, come and be aware,
come with me to a place,
let me take you there...
Now you might think
and you might say,
take me where"?
To a place of rest
I have found,
join me there
in the pursuit
of happiness.

Whitecross/ In the Kingdom/ You Will Find it There
Star Song/ 1991

If you sometimes cry out in the night
and in the darkness you can't see the light.
You feel there's nuthin' more to do
You think all hope is gone for you
And all you wanted was peace of mind
your pursuit of happiness has robbed ya,
robbed ya blind.
Just remember what you heard before
when your heart of stone becomes an open
open open door.
There's peace in the presence of the Lord
you will find it there.
Take His hand, He will lead you to the joy,
you will find it there.

"Come to Me, all you who are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest....
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me,
for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you
will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas...

amen and amen! Thanks for the Christmas wish and the thoughtful poem!

It was just a thought which made them run. It was just an act that killed them.

Thank you, dear James, wishing you too a peaceful, joyous and Merry Christmas.

When we trust His love, we really never need to worry. He is the constant of Light in this valley of tears ...

Love and peace.
