Excluding marriages, births of children etc. what is the happiest you remember being . Roughly how old were you?

The happiest I ever was when God showed me my father and older sister in heaven in a dream one night. they were both in white robes and waving to me saying hello.

30 March 1996 when I was in my mid 40's, standing at the kitchen sink scouring out a copper bottomed stainless steel pan when I suddenly realised that Jesus had died for me and it was personal. It was a Damascas Road-like experience. I had been seeking God and had finally realised I was a sinner in need of a saviour. When I got down on my knees to repent, His forgiveness was immediate and absolute. I was overwhelmed by His love.

My life has never been the same since. Praise God that he saw fit to save a sinner such as me!

My three children being born, finally understanding that my parents were not the horrible creatures I had them painted to be in childhood and now realizing how much I treasure both of them and learned so many valuable lessons and now both are my best friends. My parents are now in their 80's.

Maybe not THE happiest, but one of the happiest moments of my life:

February 7, 2010

Superbowl 44

New Orleans Saints 31 Indianapolis Colts 17

15 years old

Understanding the overlapping nature of love and trust. I am sure there were happier moments in my life, but I don't recall them.

Age 14, tripping on acid in Golden Gate Park with some friends. I was wild, free, and did not yet know the harsh realities of life.

Sitting on my grandmother;s lap while she held me, rocked her rocker and sang to me when I was 3. Nearly 83 years ago, but I miss that even now.
