What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?

The 5 things that bring me happiness are giving Jesus Christ the praise for allowing me to wake up in the morning and breathing His Breath of Life.   I thank God for allowing me to be forgiven by God for all of my sins.   The third thing that I am happy about is my ability to read the Bible and pray every single day of the week.   The fourth thing that I am happy about is the Church that I am attending all of the time.  Fort McKinley United Methodist Church in Dayton, Ohio is a very nice place to worship.   The fifth and finally, I am more excited to be a Child of the Living God.  I am a person who has a lot of knowledge and skills that I have to get a good paying job.

In Addition, I am still happy that I am not homeless anymore in the Dayton, Ohio Area right now.   I feel very sorry for my relatives right now because they do not have a place to live right now.   My Level of Compassion is very high right now because I can ask around to see if my family members can get an apartment somewhere in the area.   It worries me because I do not want my relatives to struggle with anything in their life.   Lord Jesus, I am having memory problems and issues with my brain right now.

Finally,  I want to say that I have made numerous mistakes in my personal life.   I am happy that I have a chance to look at my medical records.  I did not know that I had surgery on my stomach when I was a child.  My relatives do not recall my surgery years ago.   My mother did not tell me that I had an umbilical hernia as a baby.  I still do not know who my father is to this day.  I do remember more than my other relatives in my family about the events that had happened in my personal life.
