Bible Verses to Support Being Happy & Content

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
1 Timothy 6:6 -7, KJV

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:5, NIV

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
Philippians 4:11-12, NIV


Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
1 Timothy 6:17-19, NIV

Check out this song:
“Be Thankful for what you have, Have an Attitude of Gratitude,
Being Thankful in all you do, Will bring contentment to you!
Appreciate the gifts you see – Your home, Your school [work], Your family;
Be generous in all you do, So others can be thankful too!”

Learn to Be Happy & Content

Learn to be content with where you are in life. Life has lots of seasons, causes and effects. Don't wait until pay day or to get married or to go on vacation to smile, be happy and enjoy life. Learn to enjoy life during the good & bad times. Life is like a roller coaster; put your big boy/girl britches on, buckle up tight, hold on and enjoy the ride. Yes, you will go up & you will come down. But it's called life and reality!

Choose To Be Happy & Content: "Embrace The Place"

If you never make a million, live in an upscale neighborhood, marry the person of your dreams, get a substantial raise, get to shop like a princess, get to vacation on an island of your choice or you live pay check to pay check; choose to be happy and appreciate where you are and what you have without complaining.

Embrace The Place!

Grateful For My Gifts

I'm humbled and grateful to God for allowing me to enjoy a healthy career in sports, and for given me the gifts of teaching, motivating, inspiring and praising young talented athletes.

I realize that throughout my career, I could have been a coach on the NBA level, college level or better still at the high school level.

But no matter where or what I've been asked to do with the gifts He's bestowed upon me, I've chosen to give my best everyday, not cutting corners, being sincere in everything to everyone and to finish each race in manner that respectfully represents a champion.

In Closing:
No matter what or where we're asked to serve, we should realize the importance of giving our best each and everyday. Those who do, thrive!

About Competing

What I enjoy the most about competing in basketball is attacking my opponent over and over until he quits, and that's on offense and defense.

Mission Field: "It's About Him"

Life is a mission field that is in need of more laborers.

Ask God how you can share Christ with others and wait for His answer.

When Questioned About Whether There's A God-What Do I Say?

Jeremiah 29:13 

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart.

Proverb 3:5 (My Favorite Bible Verse)

Trust in the lord with all of your heart, mind and soul and lean not unto your own understanding, and in all of your ways, acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5

Learning to fully trust in the lord isn't easy. It takes courage, discipline and faith. Too often when things don't go our way, it's very easy to begin to trust in man for the things that we need the most. But I've learned throughout my experiences (both good and bad) that God's word is the single most important book that we should read when we are in need of comfort, direction, peace, understanding, strength and wisdom.

"The word of God, there's nothing like it on the face of this earth."
