happiness and peace is what ppl are searching for
whats the point of having wealth and procession where we dont have happiness and peace?
-worries, anger causes anxiety
-ppl are always thinking and living in the future... stress, anxiety, tiredness increases
-happiness is often described as a feeling, a positive quick sensation... to many, happy is a craving for a pleasurable feeling
are these really happiness?
-feel great
-feel appreciated (appreciated and recognition)
-feel in control (in control of things)
-feel safe (enough $$ in the bank account for the future
-feel less tired (solve the problem and get some rest so tt wont feel so tired anymore)
It's just a sensation trigger by something and make us feel good
-problem is they dont last.. only for awhile.. come and go very quickly
-looking for the next thing to feel good again, but nv satisfied
-being at the top is becoming addictive
-joy comes directly from God
when Jesus is in our life, it doesnt matter how ppl look at us
-happiness is not just a feeling tt comes and go depending on situation
JOY is the 1st Christmas present from God

-peace doesnt mean theres no trouble, but not troubled by troubles
-when we are in a stress out situation, we tend to react negatively
-inner peace overcomes from all the troubles of the world
-take time to sleep, rest, pray
plan for the future, but not over plan... dont dwell in it
-learn to enjoy today
-learn to be calm and trust God more
FAVOUR is 3rd Christmas present from God
-favor = demonstrated delight
-God protect, preserve and heal us
- favor = preferential treatment
-God's righteous will make us stand out from the crowd (better jobs, increment, healing in the mist of troubles)
-Christmas is abt favor especially in family (relationship with family members)
-Christmas is abt the birth of Jesus
-Jesus maybe born a thousand times, but if He's not born in our hearts, we will still be in our sins
-all we have to do is just to receive Jesus into our heart
