How you can be happy in crisis period?

I got a simple message from one of my friends, when I was depressed with problems in life. it reads: [b] " GOD will never have you EMPTY (handed) He will replace everything you lost, If HE asks you to put something down, it is Because HE wants to give you something MORE!" [/b] and even better too!!! This is what keeps me happy during any crisis.

Believe even the tough moment will pass away like clouds, good or bad will have its end and stay happy.

Being "happy" during a time of crisis isnt easy but its doable..I think though (and in my personal experience) that being POSITIVE is easier. Its still tough to do, dont get me wrong, but its probably a better first step than trying to be happy is...Once you can find a positive aspect to whatever issue is goin on then happiness to some degree will follow..

hi I am in crisis too but I have to keep happy to keep my sanity and p;eace of mind so I make myself happy. I think of what I do have not what I don't have. I thank God that I have a roof over my head and a room and mycomputer and monitor. I thank God I am alive and for each new day he gives to us. I am grateful for my son who comes to visit me and for my friend Nelda who keeps touch with me via my email so yes I may have problems but I do not dwell on them at all.I just think I am happy today as thats all any of us have is right now.
