Is serenity in life important to you?

Serene will be our days and bright,

And happy will our nature be,
When love is an unerring light,
And joy its own security.

—W. Wordsworth

Nothing can produce so great a serenity of life, as a mind free from guilt, and kept untainted, not only from actions, but purposes that are wicked. By this means the soul will be not only unpolluted, but not disturbed; the fountain will run clear and unsullied, and the streams that flow from it will be just and honest deeds, ecstasies of satisfaction, a brisk energy of spirit, which makes a man an enthusiast in his joy, and a tenacious memory, sweeter than hope. For as shrubs which are cut down with the morning dew upon them do for a long time after retain their fragrancy, so the good actions of a wise man perfume his mind, and leave a rich scent behind them. So that joy is, as it were, watered with these essences, and owes its flourishing to them.

—Plutarch

Is serenity in life important to you? I loved these two poems/quotes above. If we want to be happy in this life, we need to count our blessings, be prayerful, stay positive, loving, and joyful in the Lord! We also need to follow Jesus! We need to reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him! Just doing this with great faith, and knowing that God promises us life eternal in Heaven with Jesus if we do, should bring us the serenity we need! Stay joyful in the Lord! Follow Jesus! Count your blessings! God gives serenity, follow His son Jesus!
