>> Hi to all,
>> When the last meeting was held to discuss continued remodeling of my work 
>> location we had a discussion about how bad my 3 snack machines looked. 
>> Someone made a comment that we needed to put contac paper on the bottom 
>> half on the front of the doors to cover up the millions of kick marks put 
>> there by state employees over the years!  After all the state is spending 
>> money to remodel this location and it must match the decor!  I stated 
>> that these machines are old and antiquated and they didn't work very 
>> well.
>> Another individual spoke up and said yes we have contac paper at the 
>> office and you can have your choice, black or chrome colored contac 
>> paper. Virgie which would you like?
>> I said I want new machines, these things don't work and they need to be 
>> replaced because they do not work well!
>> Another person from the office spoke up and said "Let's move on to plan 
>> B, which do you wan"?
>> I restated my case  and said I want new machines!
>> The same person said to me "You can't have new machines so which color 
>> contac paper do you want on your machines"?
>> I simply said, I want new machines, you know these machines are old, 
>> probably 30 years  old or at the very least, they must be 20 years old.
>> Again I was told you can't have new machines, there is no money for them, 
>> we have spent all the money we can spend on your location.  So they 
>> collectively decided that black is the color of choice because it should 
>> match the new decor!  Like I said, a little rain!
>>
>> I think it was 3 days later I get a phone call and was asked would you be 
>> willing to take some newer old used snack machines?  I stated again that 
>> I needed new ones because those old machines didn't work properly and 
>> they looked tacky.  I was assured that these machines worked better and 
>> they looked much better as well.  I agreedd to take them because I knew 
>> it was the best I could do!  My negotiation skills were lacking but of 
>> course this was the best I could do!
>>
>> Now on to the bright sunshine that has been filling up my life  lately.
>>
>> A couple of days later I get another phone call from the office!  I was 
>> asked how things are going with the remodeling and was everything okay? 
>> I said we were making progress and other than needing new machines 
>> everything was progressing nicely!
>>
>> This person told me they had 2 more new snack machines and if I was 
>> willing to trade those 3 old snack machines in for 2 new ones I could 
>> have them! You know I agreed to give them the junky machines for the 2 
>> new ones!  I could not believe what I was hearing!
>>
>> A lot of sunshine coming into my life and every bit of it is from our 
>> Lord Jesus Christ!  God's miracle worker, the state worker  is the human 
>> facilitator but the real power is our awesome God! I have all new 
>> machines sitting in my snack bar and it is looking beautiful!  It is all 
>> done except we have 15 pictures with West Virginia sceens coming to 
>> decorate the walls and a new pop corn vending machine and can you believe 
>> it?  I am also getting an ice cream machine!  .  Praise the Lord and 
>> thank you Lord Jesus for your many wonderful blessings for my business!
>>
>> The brightest rae of sunshine filling my life is the inner peace and 
>> contentment I feelinside!  I am truly blessed and I am bubbling over with 
>> joy!
>>
>> Miracles do still happen every day and I know there are many more to come 
>> for all of us!  I am grateful for the material things for my business but 
>> the most precious of all is the wonderful joy and peace I feel inside!
>> I am truly blessed!
