Things that make me happy!

One of the blogs I read, Kelly's Korner, has a Show Us Your Life party every Friday.  This week's theme is "Things that make you happy".  I've never linked up before but I thought I'd join this week because I have SO many things that make me happy.

1 Timothy 6:6-8

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that
