JACK'S WINNING WORDS 8/2/06
“A careful inventory of all your past experiences may disclose the startling fact that everything has happened for the best.” (Unknown) I suppose that there may be exceptions, but that’s probably because we’ve still got some life to live, and the last judgment has yet to be made. What do you think? ;-) Jack

DAZ suggests that the highlighted line in The Optimist Creed relates to today's quote. The Optimists are an international service organization. Perhaps you have an Optimist Club in your community.
THE OPTIMIST CREED
Promise Yourself -
· To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
· To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
· To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
· To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
· To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
· To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
· To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
· To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
· To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to critize others.
· To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

HAROLD S. SUGGEST THIS FROM THE BIBLE
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose. Romans 8:28

JON H. (GOOD DEBT, BAD DEBT) SAYS:
Look at the lyrics from Garth Brooks' song: Unanswered Prayers.
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered... Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
