For Better or Worse (1 of 5)
No matter what type of experiences or situations we encounter in life there will be changes!
There will be changes due to circumstances that will make matters worse such as loved ones no longer being present to share the joys of current occasions, not having the strength or the state of mind to know and appreciate important moments or not having the resources desired or needed to experience a greater quality of the current moment!
On the other hand, faith and hope which are byproducts of our "Blessed Christian Assurance" ensures that our situations and experiences will become better and enriched.

For Better or Worse
(2 of 5)
Situations will become "Better" because we have the assurance of WHATEVER DADDY-GOD HAS FOR US THAT WILL ENRICH OUR LIVES,
ALTHOUGH WE MIGHT NOT CURRENTLY HAVE POSSESION, WILL COME TO PASS, IF WE JUST TRUST HIM AND WAIT ON HIS PERFECT TIMING!
The reality of the changing of our experiences should propel us into valuing and embracing the "Art of Contentment"- (thankfulness, happiness and satisfaction) of our momentary experiences.
We should not short-change ourselves of reaping the happiness, experiences, blessings and fulfillment of the present, by not choosing to be thankful for the factors or persons which create the smiles, love, joys and experiences of the moment.
This is why we must learn how to enter into the rest, peace and contentment of what we are presently experiencing.

| For Better or Worse
( 4 of 5)
Our experiences in this life won't ever really be where EVERYTHING WILL BE AS WE WOULD DESIRE IT WITH NO additional wishes in mind!
This is due to the sinful condition of the world. The presence of sin and of our enemy-Satan ensures that our lives will be snagged with lack, pain and discontentment.
HOWEVER, if we would rest in the "Blessed Assurance" that our loving Heavenly Father offers us; we will experience contentment in our lives no matter what our experiences are.
 Therefore, let's choose to embrace Psalm 37:23 KJ-The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
Scholar Barnes explains-"that all which pertains to the journey of a good man through life is directed, ordered, fitted, or arranged by the Lord.
That is, his course of life is under the divine guidance and control."

For Better or Worse (3 of 5)
The Lord God would have us to practice Philippians 4:11-KJ-Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content. NLT-Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to get along happily whether I have much or little.
Scholar Barnes comments: In Paul's journeys, in his imprisonments, he could not but be at times in want; but he had learned to bear all this... that it is wrong to complain at the (allowances) of (God); that a spirit of impatience does no good, remedies no evil, and supplies no want;
that God could provide for him in a way which he could not foresee, and that the Saviour was able abundantly to sustain him.
It arises from the belief that God is right in all His ways."

For Better or Worse (5 of 5)
Only by us so embracing Psalm 37:23 will we experience Philippians 4:6 NLT-Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Also V.7-If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Daddy-God gives us daily personal experiences and reminders of His loving, faithful and compassionate heart for us.
This is so that we will readily decide to be content in the moment.
Also, because we know that we can trust Him and depend on Him when situations change either for "Better or Worse" in our lives!
Blessings and Peace to you!!!!

Advice from a Unhappy Customer!With Christmas shopping just on the horizon, this may be useful information for you. I am not sure, but I think that Home Depot has a similar policy. You might want to check that out if you plan to shop there.
BEST BUY Store
If you purchase something from Wal-Mart,Sears, etc. And you return the item with the receipt, they will give you your money back if you paid cash, or credit your account if paid by plastic. Well, I purchased a GPS for my car:
a Tom Tom XL.S from 'Best Buy'.
They have a policy that it mustbe returned within 14 days for a refund!
So after 4 days I returned it in the original box with all the items in the box, with paper work and cords all wrapped in the plastic. Just as I received it, including the receipt.
I explained to the lady at the return desk I did not like the way it couldn't find store names.
The lady at the refund desk said, there is a 15% restock fee, for items returned. I said no one told me that. I asked how much would that be. She said it goes by the price of the item. It will be $45 for you.
I said, all you're going to do is walk over and place it back on the shelf then charge me $45 of my money for restocking? She said that's the store policy.
I said if more people were aware of it they would not buy anything here! If I bought a $2000 computer or TV and returned it I would be charged $300 restock fee? She said yes. 15%. I said OK, just give me my money minus the restock fee. She said, since the item is over $200 dollars, she can't give me my money back! Corporate has to and they will mail you a check in 7 to ten days.! I said 'WHAT?' It's my money! I paid in cash!
I want to buy a different brand.. Now I have to wait 7 to 10 days.
She said well, our policy is on the back of your receipt.
I said, do you read the front or back of your receipt? She said well, the front! I said so do I. I want to talk to the Manager!
So the manager comes over, I explained everything to him, and he said, well, sir they should have told you about the policy when you got the item. I said, no one has ever told me about the check refund or restock fee when I bought items from computers to TVs from Best Buy. The only thing they ever discussed was the worthless extended warranty program. He said, well, I can give you corporate phone number.
I called corporate. The guy said, well, I'm not supposed to do this but I can give you a 45 dollar gift card and you can use it at Best Buy.
I told him if I bought something and returned it, you would charge me a restock fee on the item and then send me a check for the remaining 3 dollars.
You can keep your gift card, I'm never shopping in Best Buy ever again, and if I'd been smart, I would have charged the whole thing on my credit card! Then I would have cancelled the transaction.
I would have gotten all my money back including your stupid fees! He didn't say a word! I informed him that I was going to e-mail my friends and give them a heads-up on the store's policy, as they don't tell you about all the little caveats.
So please pass this on. It may save your friends from having a bad experience of shopping at Best Buy
