The Lords devine timing and planning gives us the greatest joys and pains. And I hope that the Lord brings you more joy than pain in this life. I hope you can experience the joy I've been blessed with. Undeserving to say the least. But I couldn't be more thankful, well I could. But it's a saying, so oh well. Somehow this makes the painful situations all worth it. Without the pain from the bad days I wouldn't be here. I don't think we can be truly joyful without pain in this life. Because pain demonstrates, how much a joyful moment or day would be worth to us. We appreciate the good times more, after experiencing the hard times. And maybe that's the reason life is set up the way it is. So we can appreciate how good we have it, how imperfect we are, how bad our decisions leave us. Sometimes things aren't going in the direction we'd like. Sometimes bad things happen around us. Sometimes we hurt and don't know if we'll get back up again. But in those times of pain the Lord shows us glimpses of joy. Just as I have been able to experience this last weekend. My day had started out with some negatives, I was tired, wishing for other circumstances, I wanted my day to turn out differently. I wasn't content. And I should have been. But the Lord put aside my imperfections and gave me a situation of pure joy to show me that, all things in my life have purpose. If only I could be more patient, accepting, and aware. March 24th, 2013, may not sound like a date for everyone to remember. And maybe I won't remember it a few months down the road. But I won't forget the impact of a simple conversation, smile and laughter. I needed this situation and I was aware of the need. I asked the Lord quietly and timidly for what I thought would be a good conversation for me to have, I believed it would heal some pain. And He delivered, and sure enough it took some of the pain away. I hope we will all be able to see that we need to seek the Lord before we make decisions, we need to ask Him what will be right for us. Not just ask for the things that we think are right. So I hope and pray that your hurts can be healed, and that the Lord will bring you a blessing that reaffirms once again the definition of Love.
