Not Why But What?

I heard something on the radio coming home last nite that I was suppose to hear. I was listening to a new radio station that has good Christian listening songs. A man was talking about the fact of when things go wrong in our life we tend to ask "why me". Or when bad things happen to good people "why them"? His answer was instead of asking why me say what do you want me to do with it?

It has taken some time to figure out that God doesn't punish us or send bad things our way. Things happen and there are lessons to be learned and something better is coming our way. We just have to believe! Hard one to do at times when it is so "in your face". We think what "good" can come from divorce, sickness, or even death? Hmmm sometimes we need to think about that one. Sometimes we find the answers-sometimes not. Sometimes it isn't our struggle in the first place, we where just a factor in the whole scheme of things. It isn't about us at all. But we where used to open eyes of others. To come over if you will. What ever it takes, he needs us to figure it all out. Oh yes some of us are stubborn, but there is true light at the end if we believe.

Ah life is ever changing if you would have told me 10years ago that I would believe in the things that I have come to know I would have said you are crazy. "I am no bible thumper." Now I surround myself with them and am proud to call them friend. Everything happens for a reason. I am glad that I didn't fight this one til the death. I know now why. I rejoice in it and hope others see the "good" that came from the "why me"?????????
