Choices and Consequences

A little over a year ago, Before my little guy was born, I made a choice.  It turned out to be the wrong choice, I guess and today I felt a little repercussion from making that choice.  I missed a family event last night and that made me sad.  To be honest, very sad.   I felt like because of me and the choice I made my little guy is really missing out on something great and that just hurts my heart tremendously!  It is a long story, but I can honestly say, I do remember trying so hard to make the correct decision, praying over it, contemplating it not only on a daily basis but a "every second" basis.  Ultimately, the decision I made, the person I put the most faith in, turned out to be the wrong person.  But amiss my sadness, today also reminds me of something my cousin in law and very good friend said to me just about one month ago. 

When you are on the right path 

and sincerely trying to do things with good intentions, 

Even your wrong choices turn out to be good in the end.

I live that way now, everything I do and every decision I make for myself and for my little guy, I try to do with the best of Intentions. Today is one of those days in which I really have to keep saying; "Everything happens for a reason" and I am sure that one day the reason will become so apparent that I will say..."Oh, so thats why!"  That will be a great day.

Update: In my wallowing, I got tired of my wallowing....A Hymn came to mind.....


So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be disheartened, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

Stop the wallowing, count your blessings! 
 I have a lot of them, 
I have the best one
