todays gift


 

Today's thought is:



To expect life to be tailored to our specifications is to invite frustration.
--Anonymous


Life is what it is. It seldom matches our hopes and dreams, but it never fails to be exactly what we need. We are shortsighted, really. Reflections on the past can enlighten us to this fact. Seldom does any plan develop as we'd assumed.


Perhaps we are only beginning to realize that there exists a carefully orchestrated plan that each of us has been invited to experience. Our contributions help to form the plan, which enhances our personal development. We are privy to the tiniest segment at any one moment, however. We must trust that the plan has our best interests at heart, even though our sights may be focused elsewhere. The evolution of our lives, often in spite of our own misguided efforts, should convince us that we can let go of the reins.


What life offers today is what I need - no matter what I may think.

OH THANK YOU!!!!  As I was catching up on posts I reflected on how selfish we become when our A's don't do what WE WANT.....LOL It's nice to be reminded that we are right where we are supposed to be, when we are there.....


Hugs Mary
