Why the name; Happy Naked Frog
Society has gotten fast paced and material oriented. People are too driven by their wants and think that happiness is just around the corner. Of course there isn't anything wrong with wanting things, but happiness is something you should have along the way no matter what your circumstances.
"Man... he sacrifices his heath in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived." - The Dalai Lama
Doesn't that sum up the way most of us live? Why do we want so much? Because we are unhappy. Why are we unhappy? Because we want so much! A Native American elder said that it is no wonder white men have such big houses; they need them to keep all their things in.
"Give me just enough to satisfy my needs. For if I grow rich I may think that I no longer need God." -Proverbs 30 (paraphrased)
Of course we have more needs than a frog, but God meets ours just as he meets the frogs needs.
"Don't worry. Don't keep asking, what will we eat or what will we drink or what will we wear? The people who don't have a good relationship with God ask all these things. God knows you need these things so be right with him and all these things will be provided for you." -Jesus Matthew 6 (paraphrased)
So what should be really important to us?
Don't gather riches of this earth. They will be eaten by bugs and become rusted. Men can break in and steal them. Gather your riches in Heaven where they can't waste away or be stolen. For whichever place your riches are is where your heart will be. If you look upon those things that are pure, there will be sunshine in your soul. But if you're thoughts are clouded with evil and desires you will be in spiritual darkness. You can't serve two masters, God and money because the one will work against the other. -Matthew 6 (paraphrased)
With so much around us to want, it is no wonder we lose sight of the things in life that are really important. We forget that this life is short and only a stopover on the way to eternity. We aren't a body with a soul. We are a soul, we have a body. Of course there is much more to this than letting go of material things. Anger, unforgiveness, bitterness and many more things cause us to live a life in chains.
So when you feel unhappy about what you don't have, think about the sunny lily pad upon which sits the happy naked frog who has more peace and faith in God than we do. - Coov aka the HNF
