This morning I was reading from the scriptures and was reminded that many of the blessings God has in store for us come through the natural course of life’s events. Even the difficult and negative experiences of life may well be God’s platform to ultimately bring us those things we really need, rather than the things we think we need. I also realized this morning that these same truths were couched in an email last night from my dear sister, Vicky. In so many words, she described how God had been mindful of her and how that blessing had come through the natural course of the events and associations of her life. I am thankful for the wisdom of God in how he cares for our deepest needs.
