Ecclesiastes 9:7, “Go eat your bread with enjoyment and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.” Listen. It is only when God approves what you do that you can be happy. Some of us take it the other way around. But God approves, and then happiness comes. In my development work, when a donor gives a gift of a water well to a village, the people are so happy. And I take their photographs, and I send them to the donor, and the donor is happy. The donor gives because he believes in God and wants to keep God’s command of helping others. And the receivers are also happy because they know that all good gifts come from God. Let us enjoy God’s gifts, but let us remember to share.

Because they love you, they want to give you a good future. Look a Saint Monica and Saint Augustine. Saint Monica kept on praying for this child, praying…
