10 Rules for Happiness

1. Develop yourself by self discipline.
2. Joy comes through creation—sorrow through destruction. Every living thing can grow; use the world wisely to realize soul growth.
3. Do things that are hard to do.
4. Entertain up building thoughts. What you think about when you do not have to think about shows what you really are.
5. Do your best this hour, and you will do better the next.
6. Be true to those who trust you.
7. Pray for wisdom, courage, and a kind heart.
8. Give heed to God’s messages. Anything that opposes it, disregard it.
9. True friends enrich life. If you would have a friend, be one.
10. Faith is the foundation of all things—including happiness.

OUR GREATEST NEED

America has observed specific days of prayer since 1688. President Harry Truman made the National Day of Prayer an annual observance in 1952. His reason: "In times of national crisis when we are striving to strengthen the foundations of peace . . . we stand in special need of Divine support."
This year's theme is "Pray for America—UNITY." The theme verse is Ephesians 4:3: "Making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."

Those who organized today's observance are calling us to "humble ourselves and unify in prevailing prayer for the next great move of God in America." They believe Christians can "come together in clear agreement that this is our greatest need."

On this, I agree.
