Mysterious ways

Someone very dear to me has announced her impending marriage to a man who clearly is vastly superior to the one she nearly married a year ago. When THAT engagement was broken we all bled for her, so this one...is oh joy, such joy unexpected, a heavenly gift, like unlooked-for rain in the middle of a parched summer. If the previous engagement had gone ahead who knows what misery she might be in now? Truly, if you just let life take its course the reason for many things become crystal clear. I myself have railed against my own personal disappointments and failures, and yet now, with the benefit of hindsight, I could literally fall down on my knees and be grateful to the Creator that those events happened. Each one happened for a damn good reason.

My cup runneth over.
