Many people believe that they can control their lives. To some degree, I agree. We make our best decisions based upon the situation at the time. However, most of life we cannot control. For example the other day another car almost hit us. It looked to me as if we were a magnet and the other car was out of control. It came right toward us. I screamed and my husband swearved away from that vehicle. Were we in control of our day? No. We were just coming from the store and having a happy day when the unexpected happened to us. This is only one example that demonstrates how the unexpected happens. There are many examples of how our life changes in wonderful ways that we did not even image.
I remind myself to be open to whatever the day brings and ask for wisdom to make the right choices.
