Contentment: A “Better” Way to Live
by Ray Pritchard

God, give us eyes to see your blessings. God, give us hands ready to reach out and help those in need. Lord, give us hearts to rejoice in you and lips to sing your praise. Help us to understand that whether we see it or not, whether we know it or not, whether we feel it or not, God is good all the time.

Cheerfulness: The Healing Power of a Merry Heart
by Ray Pritchard

We all know people who struggle with sickness and weakness, yet when you go to see them, they cheer you up. On the other hand, we all know people who are sick and yet their spirit is crushed. When you go to see them, you feel worse when you leave than when you came, because they have sucked all the life out of you as well. There is a basic relationship between your mental attitude and your physical well-being. What is on the inside eventually manifests itself physically on the outside.
