Don’t Worry Be Happy…Someone sent me a link to this video and it brought back a flood of memories. Many years ago when I was a young father going through huge financial challenges, I would crank up the stereo on Saturday mornings and play this song, with all my children sort of dancing around the house going about their Saturday chores and singing with their daddy. While I can’t vouch for Bobby McFerrin’s depth of sincerity or true understanding of what “being happy” meant to him, for me this was one of the things I used to teach my children the sovereignty of God and remind myself to stop worrying, trust God, and be happy! Notice in the early part of the clip how they are “walking” in front of the fireplace. Thats pretty much what we did…Don’t worry be happy!
