My Happy Bubble

I fixed the problem from when I tried to post this before :) Sorry for the delay.



This past wkend at our ladies mtg one of the ladies spoke on her "Happy Bubble"! It was a very good lesson. So I thought I'd take and share some of her thoughts. Then share some of the things I would consider my "Happy Bubble".

What is your Happy Bubble, does is help protect your spirit, your attitude, your spiritual needs? God gives us the Bible, Prayer, Church, Christians we can fellowship with. This could be in your "happy bubble". I know for myself when I'm at church I'm IN MY HAPPY BUBBLE! Why? I'm in an area of my life that is uplifting, encouraging, helps me to repair things in my life that needs to be repaired!

So What is your "Happy Bubble?"
I got to thinking about it.......
Family! You say, that is everyone's "Happy Bubble" not necessarily though! Those with broken homes, those who have to live in orphanages those homes that don't know Christ as their Lord.
Why do I consider family my "Happy Bubble". I can list so many things that it would take way to long but these are a few things with family that makes them my "Happy Bubble"
1. Honey, I'm home! ( I love it when my husband walks through the door after work!)
2. Mommy, I love you! :D
3. Mom, I need to talk with you.
4. Mom, I need help with ____________ and whatever it is.
5. Mom, how do you do __________________?
6. When we have family time and everyone is laughing and enjoying themselves!
Just a few things that makes family one of my Happy Bubbles!

Another thing that "makes me happy". I love to decorate! Just ask my husband! I have tons of boxes with nothing but decorations in them!!! If you go into my garage (well not today lol) usually you go in my garage and I have a summer section, fall, winter, spring and then like in Winter it's broke down to just winter items and Christmas items. Fall is the same way it's in 2 parts. If have a few days I'll take and clear all my walls pull all the furniture to the middle of the room and totally re do it! I didn't spend a lot of money just re did it all. :) That's a Happy Bubble for me cause I love new and fresh!!

Then another thing that since 1991 has been my happy bubble is Lighthouses and Nautical items!! My husband and I both grew up on the coast. He up in Maine and myself in NC! I have so many lighthouses that if I put them all out there wouldn't be room for anything else. So in the summer that's how I decorate and I always have at least 2 lighthouses through out each room (except for the kids rooms).
Lighthouses though have such history and even spiritual truth to them.
If you've ever studied lighthouses they are really unique. I won't take the time now to go into it. But if you think of Jesus as a Lighthouse here's some things that will show why they are my Happy Bubble!
Lighthouses: Shows the way, helps protect in the storms on the sea.
Jesus: Shows us the way through life through his word, Protects us through the storms of life!

These are 2 basic things however there is much more! I know I'm not quoting this exact but:
The Bible says, I'm the way, the truth, and the life.... I love it! As the Lighthouse, Jesus shows the way, shows the truth (dangerous waters ahead) and saves life!

These are some of my "Happy Bubble" things. I'd love to hear some of yours! As Mrs Doss said in her lesson, ANYTHING can be a "Happy Bubble". How do we handle things? Complaining? Griping? Pouting? Or do we "go" to our "happy bubble" where we can put things aside. You know when your in your happy bubble you can Pray, Read your Bible, talk with God!

When I 'm decorating (re-arranging) I use that time to pray, listen to the Bible on CD. What better way, and place to do it! My children are usually outside playing or gone someplace when I do this. I always try to decorate when hubby isn't home unless it's Christmas when family does this together!

Have a wonderful wkend everyone!
