Greetings with love, my Sleeve family,

Are we ready for our Spiritual Vitamins? Today's Vitamins are T & H:

TRUE HAPPINESS

Ecclesiastes 3: 12

"I know that there is nothing better for people, than to be happy and go good while they live."

Happiness is a wonderful feeling! When we are happy, we just want to share it with everyone. Many of us are

experiencing alot of this while we are losing the weight. Some are feeling happy as we get our letters approving

surgery. We are getting happiness from our little non sleeve victories. As we are enjoying these accomplishments,

let us not confuse them with "true happiness."

True happiness is not shallow or external. It should never be based on how we look, our material possessions, our

financial status, or how many people like us. This kind of true happiness, if we believe, should be solely based on our

"internal spiritual" relationship with God. When we have a deep, personal bond with the Lord, we are so blessed with

a "sense of happiness" that no other part of our lives can give us.

We should never forget, that our transformations are blessings, courteousy of our Father and we should show all

who are watching us change, how grateful we are by first, taking care of ourselves spiritually, and then physically.

God is moving in our lives, we need to move with him!

So, my fellow sleevers, as we "lose" these pounds and start to see all the changes in our faces and bodies,

let us "gain" a better personal relationship with God so He can help us not to be "full of ourselves", now

that there will be "less of us!" Godspeed on your journey.
