HAPPY Monday!

Scripture: “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” — Proverbs 11:25

Let’s talk about a habit that changes everything—generosity.

I love this verse because it’s just so true. Ever notice how when you do something for someone else—like buy their coffee, give them a compliment, or just listen—you end up feeling even more refreshed than they do? That’s not a coincidence. That’s how God set it up. It’s a happy habit that unlocks joy in your own life!

Here’s the thing: happiness isn’t just something that happens to us. It’s something we choose and create—on purpose. And generosity is one of the quickest ways to flip the script on a bad day. You can literally shift the atmosphere in a room with one smile, one kind word, or one thoughtful gesture.

Sometimes we think generosity only looks like writing a big check or donating to a cause. And while that’s amazing, it’s not the only way to be generous.

• Generosity looks like sending that encouraging text.
• It looks like showing up for a friend who’s struggling.
• It’s giving someone the gift of your presence—really being there.

And guess what? When you start making this a habit, your own life gets lighter. That cloud that’s been hanging over you? It starts to lift. Your stress starts to shift into purpose. Why? Because you’ve stopped being consumed by your own world and stepped into God’s bigger, better one.

Let me say it like this: if you want to live a happy and fulfilled life, make it your mission to refresh others. Be that person who walks into the room and brings peace, hope, and a little sparkle. And not because you’re faking it, but because you’ve decided to be generous by faith with the goodness God has poured into you.

Try this today:
Ask God to show you one person you can bless. Maybe it’s your barista. Maybe it’s your co-worker. Maybe it’s your spouse who needs you to really see them today. Whatever it looks like—do it. Let your life overflow.

Prayer:
Lord, help me to be intentional about spreading the happy. Open my eyes to the opportunities You place in front of me to bless those around me. May my words and actions reflect Your love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

So go on—smile big, love loud, and sprinkle kindness like confetti. Because when you refresh others, God promises you’ll be refreshed, too. And that’s a happy habit worth holding onto.
