Rose Lane said, “HAPPINESS IS SOMETHING THAT COMES INTO OUR LIVES THROUGH DOORS WE DON’T EVEN REMEMBER LEAVING OPEN.”
THIS QUOTE MALES ME THINK ABOUT LIFE’S SURPRISE MOMENTS.
Surprises….I have to admit I usually think of them as a crap shoot. You never know what you’re going to get when a surprise comes along. Usually I view surprises as holding potential problems. I am trying to change the way I think in that regard.
I am trying to ask….
WHAT’S THE POTENTIAL HERE?
WHAT IS GOD DOING IN THIS SURPRISE?
HOW DOES THIS SURPRISE ADVANCE GOD’S PURPOSE?
Maybe some day Rose Lane’s thoughts will be my first thoughts. In the meantime I am trying to recognize open doors before they surprise me with what comes through them.
HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH SURPRISES.

I have surrounded myself with planners though I am fairly bad ate it myself it is a skill I have tried to develop. I guess maybe one too many nasty surprises amidst the good ones have made me this way.
