Grace in the Making
Submitted by: Sheila B.
Forest Lake, MNI am a calm and peaceful woman who survived a near-death experience. While driving to work one day, my car windows were blown out of my car by a rock. This rock blew in the passenger window, ricocheted and blew out the driver's window. Coming that close to death, I am happy and grateful to be alive!!
Several years ago, while shopping with a friend, I found a bookmark that spoke to me. It was entitled, “Promise Yourself.” It spoke about prosperity, abundance, and gratitude. I used it for awhile and then put it away.
Life changed for my family in a dramatic way – we downsized our living arrangements and moved into a trailer park. More things happened. Over this time, I reconnected with the bookmark.
Then tonight, I watched “The Secret,” after what had been a long day of working on a project that was meant to be quick. After filling out the sheet in the DVD copy, I went to the website. Once entering the website, my attention was riveted by many things. Then to the “Gifts for You” page and “The Optimists Creed.” Tears came and I shook as I read the Creed, for it is the exact words on my bookmark. What a gift that I treasure for now and always. Thank you!!
