SOME PEOPLE COMPLAIN BECAUSE

GOD PUT THORNS ON ROSES, WHILE

OTHERS PRAISE HIM FOR PUTTING

ROSES AMONG THORNS.

Philippians 4:8 The pessimist will see a glass filled to the half-way mark with water as being half empty, the optimist as being half full. And the optimistically creative person will see it as a vase for a rosebud, the optimistic pragmatist as a means of quenching thirst, the optimistic priest as water to bless for baptism!       Consider the benefits of choosing the  optimistic route as described in this poem: Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl, One was an optimistic soul; But the other took the gloomy view, "I shall drown," he cried, "and so will you." So with a last despairing cry, He closed his eyes and said, "Good-bye." But the other frog, with a merry grin Said, "I can't get out, but I won't give in! I'll swim around till my strength is spent. for having tried, I'll die content." Bravely he swam until it would seem  His struggles began to churn the cream. On the top of the butter at last he stopped And out of the bowl he happily hopped. What is the moral? It's easily found. If you can't get out - keep swimming around!
