What if �.

When my grandchildren were small they used to enjoy watching
the �Muffie� movie. ( He was a small elephant with a scarecrow
as a friend). Scarecrow was a �What Iffer � �he�d always start
a sentence with What if� ( by the end of the story he was
valiant and brave )
Well this story reminded me of that sweet old movie.
I�ve no idea who the writer H.W. S. is.
QUOTE:
I once met a poor colored woman, who earned a precarious living
by hard daily labor; but who was a joyous triumphant Christian.
�Ah, Nancy,� said a gloomy Christian lady to her one day, "it is
well enough to be happy now; but I should think the thoughts of
your future would sober you.
�Only suppose, for instance, you should have a spell of
sickness, and be unable to work; or suppose your present
employers should move away, and no one else should give you
anything to do; or suppose��
�Stop!� cried Nancy, �I never supposes.
De Lord is my Shepherd, and I knows I shall not want. And,
Honey,� she added, to her gloomy friend, �it�s all dem supposes
as is makin� you so mis�able. You�d better give dem all up, and
just trust de Lord.�
There is one text that will take all the �supposes� out of a
believer�s life, if it be received and acted on in childlike
faith; it is -
Hebrews 13:5, 6: �Be content with such things as ye have: for He
hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we
may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what
man shall do unto me.�
�H. W. S. �

One of my problems thinking about the future is the "what ifs"
which are usually negative. Or going into the past I think of
the "if onlys." So I work at staying in today and studying the
Word and trusting in the Lord!
