My reflection today:
“ Life can make choices for us. Sometimes these choices seem unhappy or unfair, but in the end we control our own destiny because we can decide how people and events affect us.
So much of our happiness lies within the choices we make. We can accept that life isn’t the way we want it to be, or we can change it so that it will be.
We can walk through the shadows, or we can choose to smile and seek out the sunlight.
We can create grand dreams that never leave the ground, or we can be builders of dreams that come true.
We can look at only the negative aspects of ourselves, or we can lift ourselves up by being our own best friend.
We can live in the past or dream about the future, or we can live for today.
We can give up when the road becomes difficult, or we can keep on going until the view is much better.
The choices in life are endless, and so is the potential for happiness.“ – Nancy Sims
We have no control over what is going on around us.
What we do have control over is how we respond or react to the situations that happen to us.
I believe that God does not cause suffering but is present with us during the difficult time.?
