PARABLE:  
Ever wonder why even the dumb game shows are so popular? 
I think it's because we (generally) 
like to see "happy people". 
Even when we're not. 
Which sort conflicts with the 
old saying that 
      "misery loves company". 
You'd think that instead it would be "misery loves being distracted  by seeing someone happy". 


We each have "tricks" to "lift ourselves up". 
Because it's easier to stop being sad when we're not just "watching happy" but focusing on helping someone else... 
Facebook or other media messages, phone calls, emails, 
and REALLY "old school" >> 
              sending a card  or  even writing a short letter.


What does LORD God say ?? 
God offers this idea in 1st Thessalonians 5:11 >> 
"So encourage each other and build each other up..." 

Matthew 25: 44-45 warning from Jesus... quite clear.... to NOT be self-focused
as our way to "feel happy" in life:
44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’  
45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you,
inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, 
                    you did not do it to Me.’ 


Prayer: 
LORD please help me to remember to focus on You before me... but to also
notice other people and serve You by serving them.... out of love for You,
with love for the people You love... the World that Jesus came to help... John 3:16.
