Children, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ made a real path for us in inheriting the Kingdom of God and live happily ever after.

The happiness in this world fluctuates. Falling, rising, sorrow and happiness are occurrences. One who gets money gets happy; when he losses get sad. Situations in our living vary; It becomes morning and gets darkened at night. There is no permanent thing on earth. Yet, happiness from God subsists for eternity!
