Our Brother taught us from the Word of God about happiness and how life can choke out happiness. He started with Luke 8 about the parable of the sower and how there are four examples from the Word. The Bible has a recipe for happiness including Christian Service, have mercy on those less fortunate, those that are obedient to God have a heart of happiness, follow after things of peace, those that allow God to chasten us in our lives, how children that we raise for God bring happiness and finally those that endure until God calls us home.
