When things don’t go according to plan, the easiest path is to feel screwed and look for someone or something to blame. It’s much harder to believe there is a lesson for you in what’s happening, and often that lesson is there is “an invisible hand of help” out there - call it God, the Universe or whatever you want. I like the car break down story because in every situation we have the choice of seeing the cup drained and you being stuck, or the cup being refilled and getting you on the road again.
Thank you for the re-focus! Even as recently as yesterday, God's faithfulness triumphed over a potentially fearful situation. Happy New Year!!

Good reminder this New Year’s Eve, Susan ! And I’m sorry about the car—you know how I feel about cars!!
