Reflecting.

A good friend of mine sent me a text I needed today.  It was simply a link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHDvxPjsm8E) telling me to watch.  I sat there for 8 minutes remembering how blessed I am.  So blessed for my trials.  It got me to thinking.  My purpose here on earth is only so clear to me.  I like to think that somehow I picked my trials before coming here so someone else I loved wouldn't have to go through them.  Whether or not this is true I have no idea.  But I am so happy that they are mine.  We go through day to day with so much tunnel vision, or I do at least.  It's always me me me.  How do I look?  What would be best for me?  What is in it for me?  The thoughtfulness of my friend helped me remember that it's not all about me and that I am not alone.  I am here to serve and whether my trials are big or small, I need to make the most of them... they are mine for  reasons unbeknownst to me and He won't let me face them alone.
