And I think yo are right about goals--our goals are not always God's goals.

I recently posted a note on my bulletin board that says "Fall down seven times, stand up eight" I love it!

Maybe the goals along the way were not as important as the hidden goal of becoming stronger, more resilient, hopeful and grateful. You did not have to reveal past failures, but I know you do because you care about the struggles of other people so much. You are such a good example to all of us. No wonder we love you so much.xoxoxo<br />Cathie<br /><br />By the way, Thomas Edison designed a 1,ooo different light bulbs until he came uo with the one that we use today. I, for one, am very grateful not to have to sit in the dark. I don't think many of us could have hung in there that long! I am extremely grateful that was not my calling in life!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
