How To Be Happy

«Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly.» Psalm 1:1

Everyone wants to be happy. You, your mom and your dad want to be happy too. Some people say that to be happy you must have a lot of money, a beautiful house, several expensive cars or be famous. But none of these things can bring true happiness.

Do you remember David? He composed poetry and hymns. The book of Psalms contains several poems and songs composed by David and other musicians as well.

The first Psalm talks about happiness. Happy people are those who choose honest and kind people to be their friends. They don’t become friends with people who say ugly words, who talk bad about other people, or who make fun of others.

Happy people obey God’s law with joy every day.

Let’s practice!

Are you happy? Tell your mom what it’s like to be a happy child.
