梦想的房子

每个人都有很多梦想。我也是有很多梦想。我的一个梦想是有一个房子，不太大，不太小，也不太高。我想有一个房子能看见湖景，附近有一个运动场。

其实我不需要很多条件，最主要的是能够跟家人一起生活，好好的过日子。我觉得这个条件是你不能买到的。每个房屋中介公司都不能推荐的。

虽然现在我住的房子不是我梦想的房子，但是我觉得很幸福。我的房子有五层。附近有一个火车站，一个大市场。因为我的房子也是一个水果店，所以每天都是有人来买水果。

Fill Your Life With Laughter

Philippians 4:4

“Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again-rejoice!”

 

As Christians, one of our greatest desires is to share the message of Christianity with others. Yet sometime unbelievers don’t want to hear our message because they perceive Christians as pessimistic, suspicious, critical, judgmental, cranky people. And, sadly, probably all of us are guilty of at least one or two of these characteristics from time to time.

But God tell us to be joyful and loving, to fill our lives with laughter. He knows that when we do this, we will be happier and healthier … and a better testimony of his love.

What are some ways we can live our lives with more laughter? Well, for one thing most of us should stop taking ourselves so seriously. It is OK to spend some time just having fun!

Another step toward more laughter is to hang around happy people. Laughter really does seem to be contagious. Also, most of us need to simplify our lives and avoid getting bogged down with busyness. Being over-tired and over-stressed can quickly rob us of our joy. As we learn to trust God in every area of our lives and allow his joy to fill us to overflowing, our lives will begin to reflect his love to others … and then they might want to hear more about this thing called Christianity.

Father, help me to always be full of joy in You. Help others to see the joy of Jesus in me so that they might want to meet Him in Jesus’ name.
