• Phi 214-17 KJV Do all things without murmurings
  and disputings (15) That ye may be blameless
  and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in
  the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among
  whom ye shine as lights in the world (16)
  Holding forth the word of life that I may
  rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run
  in vain, neither laboured in vain. (17) Yea,
  and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and
  service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with
  you all.

Conclusion If we are not happy in our lives we
must ask ourselves

• What is our focus in life?
• Are we looking ahead to better things or worse
  things?
• Do we feel the warm embrace of love or do we live
  with a bitter heart?
• How much service to we contribute to God and Man?
