Throughout my whole life, I’ve always heard how people say that they are never closer to God than when tragedy or sadness befalls them…up until about three years ago I honestly could not relate to that. I always felt closest to Him during times of heightened happiness…it was those times that I felt part of the plan- the plan of HAPPINESS. I feel lucky that until that point in my life I had never felt the type of sadness that causes someone to feel despair to the point where they either self-destruct or look to God for truth, comfort, love and a sense of understanding for why things happen the way they do.
While sometimes it seems so much easier to have a life without that kind of sadness…I know that I chose long ago to accept all that I would experience in my life, believing that it would all culminate into a life filled with understanding, knowledge, happiness, sadness, pain, that I would grow from each experience to be more like the person He wants me to be and ultimately joy in knowing that I played my part faithfully.
I am thankful to have a Heavenly Father who in moments of unexpected sadness envelopes me with His love. I feel as though I see Him all around me.
I am grateful for all the blessings I have been given in my life, I am thankful for all of you.
