Jack’s Winning Words 2/13/19
“Positive thinking is not about expecting the best to happen every time, but accepting that whatever happens is the best for that moment.”  (Lori Schneider)  Doris Day sang, Que sera. sera, whatever will be, will be.  When the future is in doubt, que sera, sera.  Things have a way of working out.  This is especially true when we see God at work in our lives. Ralph Abernathy once said,  “I may not know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future.”   ;-)  Jack

 FROM QUILTING CAROL:  Just received a message from a quilt friend that she’s dying from her cancer.  Your message was the next one I read – so true.  Her hearing that she is terminal was not what they wanted to hear, but she was given morphine to help with her pain and so far only a small amount is needed to bring her relief.  She has been near death several times so she and her husband are prepared for this next journey and know who holds the future for them.===JACK:  Unwelcomed News can come to anyone at anytime.  Blessed are those who know that God goes with them always, even as they walk through "the valley of the shadow of death."  Let this hymn be a comfort to you as you think about your friend..."God be with you 'til we meet again."

FROM BLAZING OAKS:  Jan and I used to sing Que Sera....a philosophical outlook, as most of the time one cannot change things that come your way, and a positive outlook does help to resolve hings! N.V. Peale's book "The Power of Positive Thinking" was a positive force in my life, helping me to believe in my talents and abilities as a young woman.. Made a big difference in my life! :-) ===JACK:  We may not be able to change everything that comes our way, but decisions we make can determine some directions we take, as in Robert Frost's, The Road Not Taken.  For the most part, I'm satisfied with the choices I've made (with God's help).  NVP and Schuller influenced me to look for the positives in life.  I was careful not to buy into everything that they were selling.

FROM JT IN THE DR:  Very opportune as we had problems with our schedule and some rigamyrole to get it straight.  All went well and we’ve had another great day ===JACK:  Rigamarole?  I haven't heard that word in a long time.  Looking it up, we both misspelled it.  Rigmarole: an elaborate or complicated procedure:

FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY:  God has us in His Hands no matter what happens.  He has our stories and we know and look forward to the ending which is our true beginning!===JACK:
