Life's Surprises....


Life... could be like Christmas day is to a child......Life is full of wonderful surprises... if we are open to them.... Some mornings you wake up not knowing what will happen during the day and you could get to take a horse and carriage ride , get your favorite flowers just because, or a life changing surprise like a call from an adoption agency.....I was telling a friend tonight about how i helped a stranger i met 4 years ago (she is now one of my best friends) with her adoption of her beautiful daughter.

I met her through a "shoe box for children in a Guatemalan orphanage" program and in mins. of meeting her , i knew she was the family God chose for me to help adopt a child , i did and a year later her precious daughter came forever home from Guatemala.......if we are willing to be open, learn from life lessons, accept kindness and love of a friend , reach out to those in need and giving back , act on intuition, follow our hearts, focus on the good not bad in our daily situation , expect a rainbow in everyday and be patient.... the unexpected often catches us by surprise.......

what a positive attitude you have. doesn't it fill your heart to the brim when you lend and hand, expecting nothing in return and then realize the "gift" of friendship came back to you? I have a situation much like yours, and my heart is full to the brim because of it.
