I can think back to my younger years where I was reckless and put myself and others in harm’s way. There were several times where I or someone else could have been severely injured or worse, yet we weren’t. What if I had married a girl who I thought was right, but really wasn’t? What if certain doors were allowed to remain open so that I made terrible financial investments? I can think of many times when, “no” or “nothing” ended up being a real positive in my life. How about you?
Sometimes no is not a bad thing, yet most often we focus on the disappointment of what we are not getting.

I am thankful that He agrees with those great theologians, The Rolling Stones who said, “You can’t always get what you want, but you’ll find sometimes, you get what you need.” Something to think about…
A man takes his place in the theater, but his seat is too far from the stage. He whispers to the usher, "This is a mystery, and I have to watch a mystery close up.

The usher looks at the quarter, leans over and whispers, "The wife did it."
