Dwelling in Happiness by Carole Brown

Happy are your men,

and happy are these servants

who stand continually

before you,

and hear your wisdom.

Second Chronicles 9:7

Starli Cameron was a successful person. She owned her own restaurant business: an up-class place that catered delicious foods. She was a talented pianist. Her features were beautiful, her body slim and strong from running and ice skating, her clothes well fitting and gorgeous. She was loved and had friends.

Starli had forgiveness issues carried from the past. Until she forgave--not only the people who wronged her but herself too...and turned to God, she couldn't be REALLY happy.

Queen of Sheba visited King Solomon to talk with him. She came bearing vast and glorious gifts.

Psalm 144:15 says: "Happy are the people whose God is the Lord" 

And that is so very true.
