Be Happy

This quote by Anne Frank (in picture) is amazing to me. Here is a young teenage Jewish girl between the age of 13-15 hiding from the German soldiers talking about happiness. She did what she could during this time to find that happiness … but she did. I’m sure when she found those moments, her family benefited as well.


In her diary she writes, “sometimes the only thing that can cheer me up is the view of the sky and a large cherry tree” (which she could see from the attic window). Her dark time was made somewhat easier by finding something that made her happy (even if short lived). This beautiful sky and cherry tree was her view before the soldiers found her and her family.


My point in sharing this about Anne Frank is to help you see the beauty that is around you. The things that should make you happy and make you smile, even when things are tough. Find those moments and make them a point of light and hope. Look at what is right in front of you and thank the Lord that He is your guiding lamp in the darkness.


Be happy. This will help others to be happy too.


Psalm 18:28 NLT

You light a lamp for me. The LORD, my God, lights up my darkness. #paulaandthebible #helpforyourdailywalk
