A Recipe for Happiness

A Recipe for Happiness

 

A daily dose of hugs.

A daily dose of kisses

At least two heaping dollops of laughter per day.

A handful of wishes.

 

An armload of dreams.

A will to empower.

A heart to love.

A smile which never cowers.

 

A dash of hope.

A few squirts of grace.

A splash of forgiveness,

And a whole lot of faith.

 

 

 

Hug often and long,

always adding extra time for kisses.

Laughter keeps the spirit young,

And wishes keep you believing, even the hits and misses.

 

Dream well, there is no time limit

when God’s will is thoroughly stirred.

Love with all your heart,
with a smile none can deter.

 

Hope for the best,

and live with grace.

Mixing all ingredients into the bowl of forgiveness,

the recipe for happiness is having faith to taste!
