It's that time of year when we are often reminded of all the things we could buy to bring us joy. A good friend of our family felt otherwise, and his words ring true to this day: "If you want to be happy for an hour, take a nap. If you want to be happy for a week, take a vacation. If you want to be happy for a lifetime, help people." To that, we say a hearty "amen!"

So, here's wishing you and your family many blessings this holiday and a lifetime of joy throughout all of the seasons of your life. God bless!
