And Good Things Happen

Have you ever had a time when it seemed that the forces of the Universe were lined up in your favor?

With all of the challenges around us, it is nice sometimes to have the forces of the Universe line up just right.

Well, it is time for me to take a moment to reflect on the good things that are happening and thank God for my wonderful blessings.

Here are some of the great blessings that have blessed our family of late.

My youngest son, Jeff, proposed to a wonderful young lady. Her name is Sarah. We like her a lot, and they are planning a July wedding.

Two days before the proposal, Sarah got a new job, Jeff got an EMT job interview and later a new job, and a group of workers knocked on my door to help me remove some trees that needed to be cut down. This all happened simultaneously.

A son-in-law received a teaching position at BYU. Their family has been in Georgia for the past seven years. We'll now have them close to home for a while. It'll be nice to have the grandchildren within 50 miles of our home.

My youngest daughter performed in a musical recital last night at Weber State University. She sang "Defying Gravity" from the play Wicked by Schwartz. I know that I am biased, because she is my daughter, but she was spectacular. The entire show was wonderful and we were blessed to have been there.

Several other little miracles have taken place of late and it is a continuing testimony to me that God is involved in the details of our lives.
