I want to be happy, but I can't be happy till I make you happy to.

I'm Joyce Meyer. I've seen God's power transform my own life, and he will do it for you.

See, one of the ways that you can deny yourself is to do what you know is right when you don't feel like doing it.

I'm glad I got four or five people that you're agreeing with me.

Do you think I felt like spending our money on my parents?

I mean, they had literally never done anything for me except give me heartache.

Both of them. I didn't want to do that. First, we had to buy them a house and put them in that,

got them a car, and had to pay somebody to get their groceries and cut their grass and all that

stuff. Then they got sick enough they needed to go into all that stuff then they got sick enough they

needed to go into assisted living then they got sick enough they needed to go into the nursing home

and i went to that nursing home and visited them every other week and not one time not once did i ever

want to go not Not one time.

But I knew it was the right thing to do.

I knew it was what God wanted me to do.

And I'm just telling the truth.

It may sound bad, but I didn't want to go.

I didn't enjoy being, it was almost like taking care of somebody you had no relationship with.

And we made sure they had good clothes, good food, good medicine, good doctors, and I have no idea how much money we spent those last 15 years of their life.

I always say they were pretty old when I started and so I thought, well, this won't be bad two or three years.

But we have a lot of longevity in our family.

And they live 15 years.
