Fill your life with laughter, but don't confuse fun or pleasure with happiness.   Don't sacrifice a thousand tomorrows for a few todays. Unknown It was faith that made Moses, when he had grown up, refuse to be called the son of the king's daughter. He preferred to suffer with God's people rather than to enjoy sin for a little while.
