Jack’s Winning Words 10/17/22
“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.” (Robert Louis Stevenson) Joan’s son is a farmer. Last year’s crop was drought-stricken and pretty much a failure. This year’s harvest, now in progress, seems to be much, much better. Hallelujah! As we wake up each morning,, who knows what the day will bring? It’s like spring planting, except that many of us have a feeling that there is a God watching over us. Faith is not measurable. I’ve been told that farmers are among the most faithful of church people. I can believe it, because they live it each day. What is it that causes you to believe in a God who watches over you? ;-) JackFROM WILLMAR REV: I
care not today what the morrow may bring, If
shadow or sunshine or rain, The
Lord I know ruleth o’er everything, And
all of my worries are vain. [Refrain]: Living
by faith in Jesus above, Trusting,
confiding in His great love; From
all harm safe in His sheltering arm, I’m
living by faith and feel no alarm. Though
tempests may blow and the storm clouds arise, Obscuring
the brightness of life, I’m
never alarmed at the overcast skies— Th e
Master looks on at the strife. [Refrain] I
know that He safely will carry me through, No
matter what evils betide; Why
should I then care though the tempest may blow, If
Jesus walks close to my side. [Refrain] Our
Lord will return for His loved ones some day, Our
troubles will then all be o’er; The
Master so gently will lead us away, b eyond
that blest heavenly shore. [Refrain] (Living
by Faith, James Wells & R. E. Winsett, 1918) ===JACK: FINALLY a chorus that I don't know, but many of the things you send are favorites of mine. BTW, did you know that the founder of Dairy Queen was "Grandpa McCullough" from Iowa? Google him.===REV: Being
an appointed chaplain by the owner of the three here in our area, I am awarded
all the ice cream I would want to eat, but I try to be discreet about it . . .
They are always bringing me all their mistakes when I’m there. 0;-) ===JACK: All you can eat? MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
FROM BLAZING OAKS: I picture being united with loved ones who have crossed
over!!===JACK: If there's anyone who's made the best of her life, it's you....and that's a compliment, in case you missed it.
FROM DR J: This
is another great quote… I love it. Hard to focus on the long term impact small
individual actions can have… but we must! Enjoy
the day… ===JACK: There's more going on (all the time) with our body and mind than we can ever imagine.
FROM EMT SINGS IN TC: The blessings that I wake up to
every day! Good health, wonderful, supportive family and friends. And
speaking of farming--I am from MN and last weekend my daughter and I drove to
MN., went to cemetery (my folks are buried there), the small town of Echo was
where I lived those many years ago. Several years on a farm, We drove back on
Monday and she had to go back to work(is a PA in Canton). We had a wonderful
time! ===JACK: The blessings that I wake up to

FROM ST PAUL: the fact that i am still here and can think of about 2 dozen
reasons why i should not be here!:):):) truely!===JACK: I saw a great segment on 60 Minutes about Deion Sanders. At point point he said that so much of our life is based on the "What ifs." What if "this" happened in Paul's life instead of the "that." Think about ot....and give a prayer of thanks to to God.
FROM GR7: That
each day is a blessing!===JACK: ...and sometimes it's a blessing in disguise - just taking it for granted.
