In other words, no matter what happens in our lives good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant we should always give thanks to the Father. Always! So, from one Christian to the next...it's all good. :)Stephen A.

I'm not sure if this is it:<BR/><BR/>The Devil Complains<BR/><BR/>The Devil said to one of his disciples: "No matter what good I do the people, I do not have a good name. I will let you see this."<BR/><BR/>The Devil went to God, and he said to God: "You put a big stone on the path of man, and I will put a sack of money, and we'll see who gets the credit."<BR/><BR/>That day, God put a stone on the path and someone came along the path and struck his fooot on the stone. At once he said, "The Devil put the stone on the path and made me strike my foot!" <BR/><BR/>The next day, the devil put some money down on the path, and someone else came along. She took the money, and at once she said, "Praise God!"<BR/><BR/>At once the Devil said, "You see, it is I who put down the money, but the woman gives God thanks. And God puts down the stone, and it's the devil the man curses! Did I not tell you that I get no justice on earth?"<BR/><BR/>Proverb: Look to the devil when you stub your foot, look to God when you find the good.Writing on Boardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03586187888418224291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923960.post-17316444242586828242007-02-19T09:14:00.000-05:002007-02-19T09:14:00.000-05:00An other story for you from France :The Devil and ...An other story for you from France :<BR/>The Devil and a farmer do a deal : the Devil would have all which will be gathered on the ground and the farmer in the ground<BR/>The farmer grows potatoes<BR/><BR/>Next year, the devil : I prefer to have all which will grow in the ground<BR/>The farmer : OKay <BR/>And then he grows cornCergiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623905868861239570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923960.post-70537200779715038062007-02-18T16:09:00.000-05:002007-02-18T16:09:00.000-05:00OK, it is deep.
