The Secret
>
> One day, one friend asked another,
> "How is it that you are always so happy?
> You have so much energy,
> and you never seem to get down."
>
> With her eyes smiling, she said,
> "I know the Secret!"
> "What secret is that?"
> To which she replied,
>
> "I'll tell you all about it,
> but you have to promise to
> share the Secret with others."
>
>
> "The Secret is this:
> I have learned there is little I can do
> in my life that will make me truly happy.
> I must depend on God to make
> me happy and to meet my needs.
> When a need arises in my life,
> I have to trust God to supply
> according to HIS riches.
> I have learned most of the time
> I don't need half of what I think I do.
> He has never let me down.
> Since I learned that 'Secret', I am happy."
>
> The questioner's first thought was,
> "That's too simple!"
> But upon reflecting over her own life
> she recalled how she thought a bigger house
> would make her happy, but it didn't!
> She thought a better paying job
> would make her happy, but it hadn't.
> When did she realize her greatest happiness?
> Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren,
> playing games, eating pizza or reading a story,
> a simple gift from God.
>
> Now you know it too!
> We can't depend on people to make us happy.
> Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that.
> Trust HIM!
> And now I pass the Secret on to you!
> So once you get it, what will you do?
>
> YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too!
> That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU!
> But it's not really a secret...
> We just have to believe it and do it...
> Really trust God!
>
> Just Pass It On!
