Hello! This is Wonderful Wednesday, May you have health, happiness and prosperity. BTW, It’s the 59th anniversary of my marriage to an awesome husband. He lives with Jesus now.
I wondered what to write which was both optimistic and something to learn. While going through some of my files, I came across a paper that I’d had framed hanging on my wall to remind me of who I wanted to be. It was from the Optimists Creed by C.D. Larson. I said to myself “Yes, this is it.” and I decided to quote it completely.
” Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large to worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.”
I hope that this inspires you as it has me. I am again going to read it daily as part of my devotional time, to remind myself of this promise. I thank God He brought it into my life so many years ago.
Until next Thursday, have a wonderful week of successful days.
