- We would be lying if we said we never had any disappointments in our lives. They probably start as soon as we are born. We cry and scream as babies if we don't get fed when we are hungry and we have tantrums as we get a little older when we don't get our way. As we get older we may be disappointed if we don't get into a college we want to go to, marry the person we love, get overlooked for a promotion, or get an illness.Your spouse may leave you for someone else, and your kids may not have turned out the way you hoped they would have turned out. Whatever the case may be, sometimes we may feel that we were dealt the wrong cards in life! But have we? I don't know. All we can do is know that there is a purpose for our lives. We are not here by accident...You may not think your life matters, but it DOES to somebody.....somebody you may not have even met yet!
A week ago we lost a very close friend to Cancer. She went to see the Doctor with stomach pain, was admitted to the hospital with Stage 4 cancer and and 5 weeks later she is gone! So suddenly,
so unexpectedly. Leaving behind a heartbroken husband and a daughter. We are grieved by her loss, I can no longer talk to her, or text her, or share things with her. We had Bible study together for over 10 years and we took some fun trips together.We will cherish the memories. However, I still can't help myself from asking Why? and unfortunately, I don't have an answer. Life goes on. There is a purpose to everything. My friend was ready to go home! She touched many lives on earth and her mission must have been accomplished.
- Disappointments are like road bumps, they slow you down a bit, but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Don't stay on the bumps to long. Move on!
- When you feel down because you did not get what you want, just sit tight and be happy. God has thought of something better to give you!
- When something bad happens to you, consider what it means. There is a purpose to life's events, to teach you not to cry too hard.
- You cannot make someone love you, all you can do is be someone who can be loved, and the rest is up to the person to realize your worth!
- People come into our lives and leave our lives. Some are there just for a season. They come in for a purpose. God brings us new friends when and where we least expect it! Be thankful..........
Think of disappointments as stepping stones or detours that will take you to your next destination. They could be the valleys that will take you to your mountaintop.
