Last night I had some minor computer problems. A few days before I had some car problems. Today the computer is working fine and I am waiting word on the vehicle. This week has got me to thinking that at times I wish life just ran smoothly with no problems at all. As you can see I have unrealistic expectations of life. Life is life and comes with great joy and great sadness. It has days when all is going smoothly and days when the bumps in the road bounce us around.
My expectations sometimes get me in trouble. There are even times I am unrealistic in my relationships with not only people but God. I am striving after maturity and part of that maturity is to take life as it comes not as I want it to be. So, today as I wait on the verdict on my vehicle I am reminded again that life is a gift from God and it is filled with many wonderful happenings and some that are not so wonderful. But as I reflect, I know I have been blessed to live.
