Theme: Happiness at Home

Building happiness

Once upon a time there was someone who won a book. And when they opened that book, they discovered a new world.

It was a book that talked about Jesus and his teachings.

It talked about love, kindness, assistance and so many good things that that person seemed to have found a new reality.

And then, full of hopes of being happy, they decided to go in search of everything they had read in those pages.

They wanted to find the place where there was both affection between people and opportunities for everyone to be on service to each other. Where they learned important lessons that would be marked for life.

A place where they could exercise every day the virtues that lead us to happiness and where happiness, more than anywhere else, had a chance to rise, like the sun, every day.

Only, after some time, they realized that this place was not ready, waiting for them. And they discovered that each creature is the one who makes the world, in where they live, happily.

They were the one who needed to build them, with their dreams, with their feelings, with their dedication, with small gestures of attention.

So, they started to realize everything they wanted in their world, and when they managed to build it, they understood what it was. It was their home. A happy home.
