Life Happens

Isn't life a wonderful thing?  Everyday is so unpredictable.  We go throughout our day not really knowing what is going to happen next.  Perhaps we plan and plan and plan and we have a pretty good idea what our day will be like based on the schedule we have before us but we do not control the encounters we have or the correspondence we have with other people.  Sometimes those conversations can throw us for a loop and sometimes they bring great joy and sometimes they bring great sorrow.  Sometimes tragedy strikes and we find ourselves hurting or sad or lonely.  Sometimes we find ourselves in a position to serve others around us in a spontaneous way.  Sometimes we might feel our world crashing down upon us.  Sometimes we simply find ourselves enjoying what we have been blessed with and sit in awe at the gifts our Heavenly Father so willingly gives us.  Whatever the case may be, life happens and life is wonderful.  Life is wonderful because we have a Heavenly Father who loves us and a Savior who died that we might live again.  I am ever grateful for the plan of salvation and for the peace it brings to my heart as I navigate through both the calm and turbulent waters of my life.  And that is all I have to say about that right now...
