Best Fortune EVER!
FOUND by Nicole San Miguel in Baltimore, Maryland
I found this on the steps at the gym. I love it. Somehow I can't get over the fact that God will give me everything I want, not everything I need.

hmm... I know what I want... Why can't I have it? :( Maybe I'm worshipping the wrong god... Should I switch to Golden Calf?

Definitely agree with what the finder wrote.
God gives you everything you want when you are ready for it and when you are patient enough for Him to give it to you.
He also gives you everything you need you just have to listen to Him.

after a week of drug-related finds this may be appropriate to help us repent.

That's even better than the fortune that told me to go by shoes.

Aah now I get it. That's why all the "regulars" at church live the way they do. I know 2 women having affairs with very married men, and my BF's husband is addicted to porn. God just gave it to them.

No, God will give you everything you need. It's his will.

What if what you want is to become "leader of the Free World" w/o being qualified or smart or even by winning the election?

What if what you want is to start a war against your Father's enemy w/o the inconvenience of "Declaring" war?

What if what you want is to make your cronies in the oil biz even richer?

What if what you want is to punish public schools,teachers and students if they can't live up to your standards and not give them the $ to help achieve those standards?

What if what you want is to reward your friends with Government jobs without regard to ability or qualifications?

What if what you want is to not take responibility for anything that goes wrong?


What if your name was George W. Bush?

Oh, wait the people of the U.S. are living the result of these wishes. :(

That's the kind of Found you put back after you scan it so other people can rejoice in the awesome generosity of the Lord. So make a wish and put it back!

Best fortune I've ever seen:

Pepper, that's what I was thinking.

Is this supposed to be a "fortune"? Tsk, tsk, fortune telling is the work of the Devil...I've read.

I got a fortune from Panda Express, it says "YOUR LIFE WILL BE PEACEFUL AND FULFILLING"

I keep it up on my mirror. I hope it means my whole life and not just...in bed. But I guess that might be okay too.

For a long time I kept a fortune that I got a several years ago. It said, "You are the guiding light of his existence."

Everytime I looked at it, I'd think something along the lines of, "Huh? WHO's existence? Wait a minute ... what?"

The day I told my husband I was pregnant (we weren't trying), we went to a Chinese restaurant for lunch and my fortune cookie said, "the smart thing is to prepare for the unexpected"! I still have the fortune in my wallet...

Haha, I follow them up with "in your pants".

Smallbear, you might be onto something.. maybe he is the one who got that fortune cookie! That would explain a lot of things. So now that he lost it in Baltimore, god will stop granting him his wishes. Yay!! Nicole found it, and hopefully one of the things she wants is a new leader.. Barack Obama, for example!

It's probably good that god doesn't give us what we want, but then again, my teenage years probably would have been less messed up.
Oh well.

well, I'm agnostic, but for the sake of argument, let's say he's real

he gives you what you need, obviously, if you are alive

plus, what you need is most likely to be included in what you want; who doesn't want what they need?

When I was a music librarian I had a horoscope one day (not a fortune from a cookie, alas) that said 'today you will have some scores to settle'.

I actually got this fortune in a cookie one day! It's on my fridge now and God's doing a pretty good job keeping his promise so far.

Sad story -- told on ME(!)...

As I've mentioned, I'm 'gettin' on in years'. Several years ago, on my 40th birthday, I ended up taking MYSELF to lunch. (Hubby - now ex-hubby - was drinking & partying.) At my local Chinese restaurant, my frigging fortune said: "A fool at 40 is a fool indeed!"

Guess I took the fortune to heart -- he's now an ex!

Somehow I think that a smiley-face fortune would've felt better.

I have some fortunes I have kept. My favorite:

Do that which your heart tells you.

I forgot to add "in bed"...it is said that you can add "in bed" at the end of every fortune!

Seriously, Winston, read the other comments before you type. :)
