Jan 1st, 2023: Happiness or Contenment?

 

Some people are up with a hangover.

They hardly remember how 2022 was over.

Some ponder whether they should get up.

They are dreaming about having the first cup.

Some wish they could be with the people they love.

They ask for wisdom from above.

We wish one another "A Happy New Year!".

It is only a wish, and nothing is clear.

Happiness simply happens.

Yet we pursue it with great passion.

We can never find it.

It is an illusion we won't admit.

Contentment brings us a personal sense of peace.

We experience wholeness in collecting our life pieces.

1 Timothy 6: 6

"But godliness actually is a source of great gain when accompanied by contentment."
