Here is the way of happiness

Contentment & Generosity

Purpose in life
God did not create the earth simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited.  To keep alive and mentally healthy we need something to live for.

Hope
Hope is an essential element of our spiritual lifeblood.

• An end to warfare
• No more sickness, suffering, or death
