"So happy for You"
How many times have you divulged positive information to a friend and in return heard them say how happy for you they were? It's commonplace to hear folk say it but it's a rarity to actually know someone who genuinely means it. I'm a firm believer that actions speak louder than words. If you ever want to really find out whether an individual is merely extending cheap talk or if he/she is authentic, try recruiting that person's services for a chore or project. Anyone who truly has your back will not only accept your invitation but they will also work just as diligently as you to tackle the task at hand. Some folk are good at saying all the right things at the right times. Others are "grinders". They don't talk about it ... they just jump right in and make things happen. So the next time you tell someone you're happy for them, make sure your actions are prepared to support your words.

I believe you can be truly happy for someone else's good fortune and your action may rest with prayer for that person's continued happiness. Being happy for someone doesn't always demand playing an active role in that person's blessing. Sometimes people are happy for another but due to their own circumstances they are unable to be physically present. Now if someone promised to be there to assist you with something and always comes up short this may be another story. I am genuinely happy for friends who have been blessed with marriage, babies, homes, careers, furthering education, cars, fellowships, strengthening relationships with God, and so on, but I may not be an active participant in everyone’s blessing. I do what I can with what I am, I can’t be everywhere at all times for all people. I can pray, support and love within my capacity.
