MAKE YOUR DAY BRIGHT BY THINKING RIGHT
Don't start your day by supposin that trouble is just ahead, It's better to stop supposin
ancl start with a prayer instead, And make it a prayer of thanksgiving for the wonderful things God has wrought Like the beautiful sunrise and sunset,
"God's Gifts" that are free and not bought -
For what is the use of supposin the dire things that could happen to you
And worry about some misfortune that seldome if ever comes true -
But instead of just idle supposin step forward to meet each new day Secure in the knowledge God's near you to lead you each step of the way For supposin the worst things will happen only helps to make them come true And you darken the bright, happy moments that the dear Lord has given to you -
So if you desire to be happy and get rid of that "misery of dread" Just give up "supposin the worst things" and look for "the best things" instead.
