Interesting thoughts on being happy. Happy is based on our happenstances..what is happening in our lives. Joy is based on the Father. I think that joy is what radiates from us when the Father is with us, I think joy is what the world sees in us and interprets it as "happiness". Joy is a fruit of the spirit, happy is an emotion..JMHO.

Love you all and that my friends, fills my heart with joy and my life with happiness :)
