Within every misFORTUNE is a hidden FORTUNE!

Our son Jack, playing with one of his cars at a restaurant drops it between the booth and the brick wall. Aarrrgh!! “Car, car?” Jack says frantically. Our daughter, Norah, reached down struggling to grasp Jack’s car. Samantha, my wife, saw her grabbing what she thought was a piece of trash and low and behold she came up with a $10.00 bill! Then we were able to take the seat off the bench and wallah – the car was rescued & Jack was happy, as we all were realizing within this apparent misfortune, there was a FORTUNE!
An email I read described a gentleman driving home from work on Colorado Boulevard in Denver. His car died – completely out of the blue – and he was able to coast into a gas station. He got out of his car frustrated and saw a woman crying while scrambling to see how much money she had to gas up her suburban full of children. He approached the woman to see if she was okay. She said her boyfriend had left her, and she packed her children and everything they had into the Suburban and were driving to her parents in California (of which she had not spoken to in 5 years). The gentleman swiped his card to fill up her car and went inside buying all the kids food from McDonalds. The woman was so grateful and asked if he was an angel. He smiled and turned to his car, realizing what a blessing it was to have his car quit giving him the opportunity to help out a family. He sat in his car and it started right up! A FORTUNE in an apparent misfortune.
Lastly, one of our patients, previously turned off by chiropractors had 9 weeks of suffering from vertigo. Cat scans & MRI’s at the hospital revealed nothing. A reluctant husband said, you’ve tried everything, I guess it’s time to try chiropractic. After one adjustment, crawling around was no longer the means of movement – this woman could walk! Her vertigo subsided significantly and now she and her husband enjoy the benefits of wellness chiropractic care. A FORTUNE in health all brought about by an apparent misfortune.
