Sirach 30 vs 15-16, 21-25 "More precious than gold is health and well-being contentment of spirit than coral. No treasure greater than a healthy body, no greater happiness than a joyful heart." "Do not give in to sadness, torment yourself not with brooding. Gladness of heart is the very life of man, cheerfulness prolongs our days. Distract yourself, renew your courage, drive resentment away from you. For worry has brought death to many, nor is anything to be gained from resentment. Envy and anger shorten one's life, worry brings on premature old age. One who is cheerful and happy while at table, benefits from his food" PTL We are all blessed abundantly in our lives. Be thankful for all the gratuitous blessings given to us each day by our wonderful God. In Him there is no end. PTL
