When Strivings Cease

Let's lay down our efforts and striving! Be Blessed!
http://alittlehappymacie.com/2015/10/02/when-strivings-cease/

I love to write. But more often than not, I begin a blog and never finish it. It's frustrating. I sit down with a story, something I want to pass along. But by the time I've read, edited, re-read a...

What A Pain: Part One

If God loves us with an everlasting love, why in the world does He allow suffering? I believe it's to point us to our ONLY REAL hope--Him.

This post has been hanging out in my draft bucket for months. The fact it's taken so long to publish may give insight into the amount of stigma surrounding the topic. This is my story of being di...

Everybody take a breath. Why are all your faces red? I'm missin' all the words you said. You don't have to yell. Draw your lines and choose your side. Cause many things are worth the fight. But louder doesn't make you right. You don't have to yell. -Chris Rice

A Little Happy's lyrics for the day!

Doodle Bug

Just a little glimpse into why I do what I do. "Place something for the eye to see, so the heart will remember." That something may as well be A Little Happy! Be Blessed!

http://alittlehappymacie.com/2014/09/21/doodle-bug/

I love cute stuff. Even though I'm not nearly as "girly" in everyday life as my designs might suggest, I simply love cute stuff. Sometimes people will tell me, "Your designs are so 'cute'." I lo...

Tonight while loading the dishwasher I noticed my husband had yet again placed bowls on the top rack. I have repetitively asked him to put bowls on the bottom rack because, in my expert opinion, t...

http://alittlehappymacie.com/2014/03/08/mommy-madness

Mommy guilt is just about the worst guilt there is. It lurks,victimizing innocent moms, day-in and day-out--and sometimes through the night. Mommy guilt is very real, and it doesn't matter if you...

A Little Happy wants to hear about your "ultimate love" mommy moment. This morning as I was making mini-muffins, and added this to the list. I loathe cleaning the tiny holes after baking them, but my boys devour and adore mini-muffins. What simple things do you do for the love of your children? Be blessed!

Peace comes not from obsessively striving to meet God's rules. It comes from obsessively committing to let God RULE. Be blessed. And be free.

All in God Time

I'm re-posting a past blog from A Little Happy that ministered to me, and I need it once again. Finding time to blog and craft eludes me. Be blessed and wisely make use of your time while you trust God's mysterious--but perfect--timing.

http://alittlehappymacie.com/2013/06/30/all-in-god-time/

Something very frustrating has happened since Father God gave me the desire to blog--the demand of Father Time. The Lord keeps me supplied with ideas, and I love to sit and write about truths He r...

There's what ya want, and there's what ya have. If we can't learn to be content with what we have...then what we want ain't gonna fix us. - A Little Happy

AMAZING reception at the Wesson Flea Market yesterday! What a blessing to share the story of A Little Happy with so many people, many of whom I'd never met. Thank you to everyone who supported me, and I hope your Little Happy purchase encourages you in ways I already prayed it would!

Easy To Love

Love people? Of course you do. Love "hard to love" people? Of course you don't. Let's try. Be blessed.

http://alittlehappymacie.com/2013/10/05/easy-to-love/

I love people. Like, I really really love people. Once in a church small group, we were asked to tell what we were passionate about. I have no idea why, but I came up with some nerdy thing about...
