Faithful Wonders
Everything happens for a reason.
I’ve heard myself say those words a million times
& I truly believe them.
I do.
But, sometimes.
Some. Times.
I’ve been spending a lot of minutes, lately, wondering.
Wondering why, pondering what, how and who … ? ….
So beware. my friends.
‘Cause we all know what happens when I contemplate too much …
hmmm
I honestly think each and every one of us is gifted a road map when we enter this world
& what we decide to do from there, is entirely up to us.
We might “luck out” and get a fantastic path, one with only an occasion bump or two
or
We may get a bummer of a route, marred by this, that and a whole bunch of stuff.
The route, I believe, doesn’t much matter.
When all is said and done, it’s our response, that’s most important.
What did I do with my good ?
How did I handle my bad ?
Was mine, a continuous WHY ME ??!!?? reaction
or
did I trust, really trust ?
As I sit here, I’m thinking of people in worst-case scenarios, who’ve proceeded with beautiful ease
& people, caught within the lightest of circumstances, reacting with doom, gloom, seemingly endless pessimism.
& I ask,
what is MY reply to MY life road ?
‘Cause yep, there’s been ups, there’s been downs, there’s been every little thing in between
& once upon a time ago, I allowed myself to be pulled into the vortex of URGH.
Complaining was so much easier than choosing to look for bright.
Where in the world ?? HOW in the world ?? could there be hope in bad, ugly, hateful situations ??
Seek it.
I promise, positivity is there.
A lesson and a reason are patiently waiting to be discovered too.
Seems we can’t eliminate the unfortunate that oftentimes surrounds us, but we CAN adjust our response to it.
Answer negative with negative and all you’ll receive is negative.
But choose Positive ?
Choose to search for the reason ?
Choose to trust ?
Uh-huh.
THERE you will find allllllll your answers.
That’s life in a nutshell, according to me.
As I wonder …
as I hope …
as I travel my road …
