Not everyone recognizes success when they see it. I can remember the story of a fellow who was caught in a flood. As he stood on his front porch watching the waters rush by, a boat came along and offered him a ride.
“No thanks,” he said ” The lord will take care of me.”
A bit later he was on the roof and another boat came by. Again offered a ride, he gave the same answer. In a short time, he was standing on top of chimney and this time a helicopter tried to save him. Same answer. He drawned.
Upon arriving at the pearly gates, dripping wet and sputtering, he asked why his prayers had not been answered.
The lord looked at him with a puzzled expression and said,” I sent you two boats and a helicopter.”
So friends, when checking progress, the good news is finding out what needs something done about it. The bad news is that something has to be done about it.
So do recognize your success or you will be a man mentioned above.
