This life is such a struggle. It's hard enough to deal with today - and we so often get tangled up in the "should have" of yesterday and the "whate if" of tomorrow. We forget to enjoy the gift of today. I am glad you are a part of my today.

I think that this is true, but my experience also adds a little to that. <br /><br />I've also learned that God does place people in our lives for that help. I try to look at them as strategically placed tools that God gives us during our ups and downs. Being humans, they will eventually let you down - some a little, some a lot. But when one lets you down, God will send in others to replace them. However, the key is to see those fallible people as God-sent aides and support along the way, but NOT the source of your strength. STRENGTH is what comes from the Lord. That way, if/when they let you down, you don't fall off a cliff. You just say, "God, I really appreciated the support that you sent me through so-and-so. Being human, they have fallen short, amd it really hurts not having them here now. I really miss the support and connection that You gave me through them, so please send me that again through whatever or whoever you know is best. YOU are my support, Lord. You!" <br /><br />So, I guess what I am saying is, don't trust in a person, but trust in God and whatever He is giving you through that person.

Really profound and made me look at my own learning (and life) process. <br /><br />I find that I am happier when I stop looking at the past or the future, and focus on the place I am in today. Today is much better for me when lived that way. <br /><br />Really . . . a fantastic post, my friend.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800466894354194636noreply@blogger.com
