making a thing happen

We can't fix everything, and we can't make everything happen, but we can do a lot.  Nothing is ever accomplished by those who give up.  When the going gets tough, the tough get going.  Over the years I saw the hard work of many church staff and members pay off.  It is amazing what a positive attitude can bring to life's obstacles.

These days, I hear a number of voices that want to blame someone else.  They did not get a fair shake.  It is the government's fault.  The odds are stacked against me.

As long as a person persists in negative, defeatist thinking, the outcome is predictable.

"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. 
 I don't believe in circumstances. 
 The people who get on in this world 
are the people who get up
and look for the circumstances they want
and if they can't find them, they make them."
                                                             George Bernard Shaw

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
