thought for the day

came from my meditation this a.m. - i LOVE THIS. seems to be so true for me.

Meditation for the Day:
"In Thy presence is fullness of joy. At Thy right hand are pleasures forever." We cannot find true happiness by looking for it. Seeking pleasure does not bring happiness in the long run, only disillusionment. Do not seek to have this fullness of joy by seeking pleasure. It cannot be done that way. Happiness is a by-product of living the right kind of life. True happiness comes as a result of living in all respects the way you believe God wants you to live, with regard to yourself and to other people.
Prayer for the Day:
I pray that I may not always seek pleasure as a goal. I pray that I may be content with the happiness that comes when I do the right thing.

for me, being an instant gratifictaion ADDICT, that is quite a concept. but again i find truth in that. the more i think of others & try to give of myself (meaning my time & resources) the fuller, happier i feel/am.
