Four things

 

I wondered why it rained when sun was what

I needed. Then I realized the rain washed

away the dust that settled so easily on me

as I had recently taken to standing still.

 

I wondered why life seemed to pass me by.

Then I realized I was not living, just

simply existing. Living requires participation.

 

I wondered why no one ever listened to what

I had to say. Then I realized I had only been

talking about myself and all my troubles.

I was the one not listening to them.

 

I wondered why God had abandoned me.

Then I realized I had abandoned God.

 

I wondered why I was not happy.

Then I realized standing still, simply existing, whining and

turning my back on God, does not make for a happy life.

 

Four things...

 

1. See the sun when it rains.

 

2. Accept that life evolves with you, it doesn't revolve around you.

 

3. Understand that God gave you two ears and one mouth. You need to listen more

than you speak.

 

4. Plan with God for He has plans for you
