It is your choice either to

• Count
  • your blessings or
• dwell
  • on your misfortunes.
• What kind of people are more likely to be
  • successful,
  • happier,
  • motivated,
  • healthier;
  • to have more friends?
    • Those who count
      • their blessings
      • not their woes;
      • their opportunities
      • not their obstacles.

Philippians 4.4

• Rejoice….
  • Always…
    • Rejoice!!

Your Choice!!

An Aside:

• Thirty-six years ago
  • “Three” “Six” Yes!
  • It rained
    • hard!!!
    • On our wedding day.
• Now?
  • The memory only brings
    • smiles and
    • pleasure
      • to my mind.
  • I remember
    • (with pleasure)
    • the red muddy waters
      • rushing along
      • as I lifted and carried
        • my bride
          • over the ‘troubled’ waters!!
• Thirty-six years ago,

  • yes, “Three-Six”  years!
  • The car
    • that took me and my bride
      • and the wedding party
      • home
    • would not start,
      • on our wedding day!
  • Groom and best-men
    • wearing wedding suits
      • (‘tuxedos’)
    • got out and pushed
      • the wedding car
        • with the bride inside
        • to get it started!
      • (It is another way to ‘jump-start’
        • a stick shift
        • without another car).
  • Then:

    

    • (It was past 1.00 am in the morning).
    • “What a nightmare!”
    • What shame on my part!
      • The groom’s part!
    • “Oh Why me?”
  • Now!?
    • Only smiles and
    • pleasure
      • for the experience
        • of treasured memories!!

It’s all about

• perspective and Choice,
• what you focus on!
  • Choose
    • the Positive,
    • the Bright side,
      • trust me,
      • trust God!!
