Hmmmm..... what a wonderful and inspirational post.... you just took me back to the days of old.... my late father would say there is a different between happiness and Joy. Happiness is something you derive as a result of fun, like when you are playing, having fun or won lottery etc, but joy is something that comes from inside with a internal lasting value... in summary he would say "Happiness is temporal while Joy is everlasting, and joy only comes from God".
