These are just a few of my absolute favorite bible versus. The first one is probably my favorite and it is the one I answer with when people ask me how I can be so happy and optimistic all the time. My opinion is that God didn't put us here to be miserable. He didn't tell us to wait for the other shoe to drop. He tells us He is there with us and He will carry us through. Yes, I go through hard times. Bad things happen to me just like they do everybody else. But this one verse says it all. Learn to be content. I guess the old saying is true, when life hands you lemons, make lemonade. I have tried that philosophy all my life and it is true. Be happy with what you are given. Yes, there are people who may be better off than you but there are people who would give anything to live the life you have. Keep that in mind.
