If I Could

Someone had this quote on the bottom of an email the other day and it really hit home for me. I thought a lot about my life in general; not just the last few years , but of all my life's struggles and battles and tests and trials. I hated those times of storm, but I've said many times before I wouldn't trade them for the world. All of them taught me something when a love one passed on it taught me to appreciate comfort. When a friend hurt me it taught me to forgive. When someone wronged me it taught me to turn the other cheek. Many lessons in my life taught me about strength and courage and fear and determination and failure and mercy and happiness and joy. We could all think of times when we wished something hadn't happened the way it did or something to that effect, but if you think about it a little more I am certain you could think of a lesson that you learned from it that you wouldn't want to trade.

"If I could wish for my life to be perfect, it would be tempting but I would have to decline, for life would no longer teach me anything." - Allyson Jones

Romans 8:28: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

When God is in control of our life every trial we go through will work together for our good and we will be better because of them.

God Bless!!
