THE LATEST WORLD HAPPINESS REPORT (WHR) HAS RANKED SRI LANKA 132nd AMONG 158 COUNTRIES. SWITZERLAND IS THE HAPPIEST NATION IN THE WORLD FOLLOWED BY ICELAND AND DENMARK IN SECOND AND THIRD PLACES. I LIVED AND WORKED IN SWITZERLAND FOR OVER TEN YEARS. I WAS HAPPY FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF MY SOJOURN THERE, BUT THAT WAS NOT DUE TO THE AFFLUENCE NOR THE HIGH STANDARD OF LIVING IN THAT BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. MY HAPPINESS WAS ALL DUE TO KNOWING JESUS CHRIST AS MY LORD AND SAVIOUR; AND SO IS THE JOY AND HAPPINESS THAT IS SO VISIBLY EVIDENT ON THE FACES OF THESE ORPHANED AND DESTITUTE CHILDREN OF ‘SAMARITAN CHILDREN’S HOME’. HERE THEY SING AND DANCE GIVING THANKS TO JESUS FOR THE JOY HE’S GIVEN THEM.
