Happiness is!

Have you ever seen those mugs/cards, entititled "Happiness is" and then a picture of something, either friends hugging, or boy meets girl etc...?

A friend of mine, whenever she sees someone contented, looks and says "Ahh, happiness is". I saw my dog come in today from a walk and she collapsed on the floor with a big grin on her face and I looked and said "Happiness is.."

I was reminded of this song:

Happiness is to know the Saviour,
Living a life within His favour,
Having a change in my behaviour,
Happiness is the Lord.

Happiness is a new creation,
Jesus and me in close relation,
Having a part in His salvation,
Happiness is the Lord.

Real joy is mine, no matter if teardrops start;
I've found the secret, it's Jesus in my heart!

Happiness is to be forgiven,
Living a life that's worth the living,
Taking a trip that leads to Heaven,
Happiness is the Lord,
Happiness is the Lord,
Happiness is the Lord!

To know the Lord... that is true happiness!

Happy Father's day!

Typo....!

In previous post I put PALS Manager... I meant officer... that'll teach me to watch the football and type at the same time!!!

Welcome back!

I feel that's what my blog said to me when I logged in... Welcome back! We missed you! At least, I hope whoever is reading this missed me... oh well, if you didn't, that's not really the point of this blog anyway is it...

I'm rambling...

We have been ridiculously busy over the past few weeks... evenings and weekends have just got chocka, and believe it or not, my boss has found things for me to do at work, so I've actually been busy (how awful, to be busy at work!! :D)

So, the major things that have happened to me over the past few weeks... well we've been really enjoying the fellowship at Bulkington Congregational Church! The people are lovely and the spiritual food is .. well filling! And challenging whilst gracious. We are so blessed to be there!

The other big things... we've put the flat on the market... yes! We've finally done it..! Agreed to pay an estate agent an extortionate amount, and got some nice pictures of our place on rightmove, and got a board up outside. Now we just have to wait for someone to come and look round it.. and wait... and wait... patience is a virtue they say! And one that the Lord is teaching us day by day.

Jon is currently watching England vs Algeria, along with 90% of the population I reckon... Pippa and I are equally unimpressed!!! She is playing with a ball and getting dirty looks from Jon whenever she makes too much noise. I am blogging... and just managing to avoid the annoyed look for my tip tapping on the keyboard - lol :D

My job at the moment has been slightly boring... I mean boring. My boss is wonderful and I really get on with my colleagues, however there are no challenges and I have really reached the end of that career path if I want a career... so a few weeks ago I appplied for the job of PALS manager at a Mental Health Trust near where we want to move to... last Friday I found out I was shortlisted... and today was the interview.

I GOT THE JOB! I am so excited. PALS is an amazing service provided by the NHS, and I am exstatic about being a part of it in an up and coming mental health trust. I start as soon as references are through and I have worked my 4 weeks notice at HEFT where I am now.

So... that's all the big news!! Pippa has given up and fallen asleep on the rug, so I think I may as well give in and watch the footie and shout at the tely with Jon... :D

Goodnight all! xxx
