Given So Much

"It is a dangerous thing to ask why someone else has been given more. It is humbling - and indeed healthy - to ask why you have been given so much." - Condoleezza Rice, the first African American woman to serve as Secretary of State

I often ask myself now why I have been blessed with such a beautiful life. There have been times when I've felt undeserving of the blessings I've received. There have been other times when I have wondered why someone else has been given more. Ms Rice is correct - it is dangerous for me to ask that question. I've learned not to go down that road. I will never know the whole story so there is no point in my speculating over the justification of some one's blessings. It's none of my business.

In addition to that, I'm not sure that it's healthy for me to ask why I've been given anything. I've come to realize that I just need to trust God completely. That allows me to willingly accept whatever I am given. Today God is in charge of my life and He is doing a fabulous job. Each day is a blessing and I know in my heart that God knows exactly what I need, when I need it, and how I need to receive it. He is the pilot, I am the passenger. The God of my understanding always knows what is best for me. Isn't that cool??!! No questioning is needed. Of that I am sure.

Blessings everyone for a wonderful day!
