WHO'S WORRIED...

EVERY MORNING BEFORE GOING OUT FOR MY WALK I CHECK THE NEWS..I'M ALWAYS HOPEFUL THEIR WILL BE SOMETHING POSITIVE..USUALLY I HEAR THE SAME THINGS:

HIGH GAS PRICES---STARVATION--EXPENSIVE / INEFFICIENT HEALTH CARE--HOMELAND SECURITY PROBLEMS--NATURAL DISASTERS--GLOBAL WARMING--ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION--NATIONAL DEBT--POVERTY--FORECLOSURES--BANKRUPTCIES--TERRORISTS.. AND THE LIST GOES ON--

WE CAN'T LIVE IN FEAR..THIS IS OUR LIFE..WE CAN HOWEVER WORRY LESS AND TRUST GOD MORE...THERE IS NO DOUBT HE IS IN CHARGE. HE HAS TOLD US TO BE PREPARED AND LET THE REST GO..

I HEARD A GREAT SPEAKER ONCE SAY ITS O.K. TO WORRY..BUT ONLY GIVE YOURSELF A SMALL PART OF YOUR DAY TO DO SO...MAYBE TWENTY MINUTES, MAYBE ONE HOUR..SET ASIDE SOME TIME TO WORRY, STEW OVER THINGS THAT YOU MOST LIKELY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT... THEN RELEASE IT..

ONE OF MY FAVORITE GENERAL AUTHORITY'S WAS LEGRAND RICHARDS...SOMEONE ASKED HIM WHY HE WAS SO HAPPY ALL THE TIME.. HE SAID HE LIVED BY A LITTLE SAYING:

"FOR EVERY WORRY UNDER THE SUN, THERE IS A REMEDY OR THERE IS NONE ,IF THERE BE ONE HURRY AND FIND IT, IF THERE BE NONE NEVER MIND IT"..

I HAVE LOVED THAT QUOTE FOR EVER..I EVEN HAVE A PILLOW WITH THE WORDS ON IT.

ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVORITE SAYINGS ABOUT WORRYING IS THIS:

WHY WORRY?

THERE ARE ONLY TWO THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT, EITHER YOU ARE SICK OR YOU ARE WELL .IF YOU ARE WELL, THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND IF YOU ARE SICK..THERE ARE TWO THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT--EITHER YOU WILL GET WELL OR YOU WILL DIE. IF YOU GET WELL THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AND IF YOU DIE THERE ARE TWO THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT..EITHER YOU WILL GO TO HEAVEN OR TO HELL. IF YOU GO TO HEAVEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND IF YOU GO TO HELL YOU WILL BE SO BUSY SHAKING HANDS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE TIME TO WORRY...

SO...WHY WORRY

HAVE A GREAT DAY
