Look at the Lessons
When things do not go right in our lives, as often they do not, our thoughts tend to go to the negative, “Why me?”
Well, why not you? Haven’t you lessons to learn in this life? l know l have. It is only when we stop seeing the negative in situations and see more positives that we will be able to learn and move on.
As the saying goes, things happen for you, not to you.
Every little thing that goes wrong; the car will not start, the shopping bag breaks, the kids falling over grazing their knees. When you break it down, perhaps that delay in the car not starting may have averted an accident.
The shopping bags breaks – are you trying to carry too much? And the children scraping their knees; are they in too much of a hurry or not looking where they are going. It does not have to be major things in your life that create learning curves, it can be as simple as those things mentioned.
So, perhaps the lessons here are to pay attention to the subtle teachings. Learn from them and thank Spirit for their participation and patience in our lives.
l am very grateful to Spirit; they usually give me more than one or two chances. I sometimes wonder how l made it this far. Well, l did not do it on my own. I did it because l know Spirit always walks beside me.
They guide me and when l fall, they are there with their unconditional love and support. You should all try it sometime.
It costs nothing to have a word with those upstairs. They are waiting for your call
