Everything happens for a reason...

The title of this post is something I firmly believe in. It would make life a lot harder if we don't believe things like this, wouldn't it? Yes, God has a plan for our lives and it may not always be something we clearly understand at the time and there may be times we ask "Why?", but, in the end, it all becomes clear. Today, I am happy to be at the end at one of these moments - I wish I could go back and tell the girl from this post, http://jrapatrick.blogspot.com/2008/11/i-thank-lord-for-our-blessings.html, that the feeling today is much better than the feeling from that day and it was all worth it.

And now, two happy articles from today!

Thank you, Lord, for your bigger plan and for all of these little moments!!
