Our Father in Heaven knows and loves each one of us individually and can give us line upon line direction to help better refine us.

Our memories of our mistakes and circumstances aren't there to hound us. We are blessed to remember so we can see where we have come from and recognize how far was have come with His help.

Our experiences also pave the way to help others struggling. We can become His hands and outstretched arms to comfort those in need.

That is why I love these lives. I learn so much from each of you. We are journeying together on earth with a supreme creator to guide us and it is usually through each other that our needs are met.

She tells of a life lesson learned as he was walking alongside a wall. He felt frustrated that the wall was in his way, when his therapist quickly reminded him that the wall was there to help balance him and keep him upright.

We can learn so much from that example. We may see things as roadblocks in our way, but in all reality they are just the things Christ sends us to guide and direct us.

What roadblocks have you felt in your life? Can you look at them in a different light now and see Christ's hand in your life?
