Grieving for the things we didn't plan

Grieving The Unexpected

Do we grieve for the things we didn’t plan, the things we never imagined would happen?

Has our life changed forever?

No one’s life turns out the way we expect it to.

We all end up living unexpected lives.

Life doesn’t unfold according to our plans.

We must decide how we are going to make the most of our one, brief, unexpected life.

We have a choice…we can live with or without hope. You choose.

Life often looks very different than the life we may have planned. But there can be grace and goodness in this unexpected side of life. When we choose to embrace and be thankful for the life we’ve been given, we can begin to see the abundance of blessings all around us. This is how we learn to fall in love with a life that looks different than the one we once imagined. This is how we find true joy and hope.
