08.12.2024 - Your Weekly Hug - Positive Inspiration for Your Week
Hello! Welcome to a New Week! I'm so glad you're here for this week’s Hug.
Last week’s theme, "All in the Family," was particularly meaningful as it reminded us of the importance of cherishing time with loved ones. God often works through these precious moments, and this week’s message, "THE SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS," continues to highlight His grace in our lives.
In the latest video, I explore what it truly means to seek happiness in our daily lives. I hope you find it inspiring and encouraging. You can scroll down to watch the video and read the transcript.
But before you do that, don’t forget to download the free journaling page I introduced last week to enhance your prayer experience. This tool is designed to guide you in reflecting on the weekly devotion and connecting more deeply with God. In the video, I walk you through how to use it, so you can make the most of this resource and you can download the journaling page using this link here.
After watching, I encourage you to take a few quiet moments with God to reflect on the message. If you use the journaling page, I’d love to hear your thoughts—feel free to share your reflections in the comments!
May your week be filled with happiness as seen through God's eyes!
Hugs,
Kathleen
P.S. To keep the inspiration going, I highlighted the Through God's Eyes Bookmark Rosary in the video. It’s a beautiful reminder of God's unwavering presence, His wish to fill each day with joy and peace, and His call for you to connect with Him through prayer.
The Search for Happiness
"Lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity." - 1 Timothy 2:2
Happiness depends less on our circumstances than on our thoughts. When we turn our thoughts to things positive when we thank God for His gifts and revel in His glorious creation, those positive thoughts bring a reward. But when we focus on the negative aspects of life, we invite needless suffering into our own lives and the lives of our loved ones.
The Roman poet Horace noted, "You traverse the world in search of happiness, which is within reach of every person - a contented mind confers it all." Happiness is, to a surprising extent, a creation of our own making.
Here are two facts worth considering: first, happiness is a choice; second, no one can choose your happiness but yourself. Happiness is in your own hands--take it!
"If you have a negative thought, don't waste hours thinking about it. Simply direct yourself to something positive and keep repeating the positive until you eliminate the negative." - Tina Louise
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!
