It's an annual float parade that brings in lots of fun and priceless moments.
It's breathtaking and the colours it shows you make you wana jump, dance
and celebrate life!
Its energy it brings is contagious!
Awesome right?
But guess what.
The excitement that I felt that day is just temporary.
It won't last. That's why you need to take pictures or videos to document
the event so one day, you will have something to smile about by just looking at the pictures/videos.
You see and I know that you know,
Happiness....comes and goes...
It doesn't last.
That's why people are trying so hard to tame it.
Me?
I've stopped chasing "happiness".
...because in this world, all I need is lasting joy.
Happiness comes from the word "happ-enings" ..
It depends on what's going on around you which are
unstable, shaky and temporary.
Joy comes from within.
Joy is lasting and consistent no matter what's happening around you.
No matter what your circumstances are.
I remember when my father and sister passed away,
My friends and colleagues seem to feel that I got this peace
and joy within me that they mistakenly praised me for being strong.
No. I wasn't strong. I knew that time, Jesus was lifting me up and filling my sorrow with unexplainable peace and joy...
I am smiling while typing this out..:)
I couldn't imagine myself getting out from that situation alone.
Jesus must have carried me all the way. ...just like the story of
"Footprints in the Sand."
Halleluyaaaah!
Mmmm. I just need to tell you this, wherever you are, and whatever it is that you're doing and still you end up empty ....
try Jesus...
Keep asking for His eternal peace and joy...
You need it in each of your waking life.. Promise..:)
