Koala Bears

I really like Koala bears- not because they are cute - and they are - but because they always look so happy!

They seem to have such happy smiling faces - and they seem to be unphased by anything that goes on!!

They are happy to live the life they were designed for and happy to be content with their lot!!

 I wish we could all be a bit more accepting of our lot like the koalas.

Most of us have such a lot to be grateful for and yet we are all too often complaining about one minor thing after another!

We look around us and compare our lives with others' and feel that we are lacking in one way of another!

We really don't need that new car - or that extra holiday or the new extension etc and we fool ourselves by telling ourselves that if we just had that pay rise or that new sofa then we'd be happy - but we never are.

 The koala is happy because he has all he needs and he spends all his time doing what he was designed to do.

 We are not happy because although we have more than our needs we don't spend our time doing what we were designed to do - which is to spend time with God.

We were created to have an intimate relationship with God and when we don't have that we are never happy --and a new car - new house- more money is never going to make us any happier -anymore than any of those things will make the koala happy.

We need to stop looking for material things to make us happy and spend more time being thankful and grateful to our creator.

When we are in tune and fully aligned with God then we are happy & peaceful and rich in the things that last even if we are as poor as church mice!!

 Count your blessings
