All's well that ends well

A missionary told me that even if things don't go according to God's plan, they will always end His way. Which is a good way. It didn't make any sense. We were talking about the car accident and I think he may have been trying to comfort me or something.

Then it came to me last night, (1/9/12), that what he said was true. Even though the car accident was a bad thing - learning experience or not - it did end well. Because the car accident happened, it got my brother to come home and it brought my mom over to help take care of things so I could rest. I was reminded of how lucky I am to have been able to spend time with my mom considering the times I've almost lost her. Any time with my mom and my family in general is invaluable, precious time. I'm not necessarily glad that the accident happened, but I am glad for the time I got to spend with them.

Then I was watching the movie "Pollyanna", its a Disney movie starring a young Hayley Mills. A big part of the story is something called "the glad game". In which even if things are going wrong, find something to be glad about. I think that its an important message. Instead of focusing on the negative, focus on the positive.

Its something that I'm learning and I hope that others will too :-)
