Basically, we are here today as a result of our past choices.
We choose just about everything in life except our parents. I have made some
great choices and in looking back, some of my better choices were made
sporadically. I just followed my gut and went with it! When I have gotten too analytical,
I can now see I was just trying to talk myself into something that I knew deep
down was not a good decision.
I was blessed to watch the eldest of my two sons get married last
month. Of course you only want the best for your children, but you want the
best for their mate as well. Leading up to the wedding, I was never 100%
confident that this was the right life partner for him. I had several
conversations with him, and he always said this was the one. I chose to be
patient and trust the young man I raised.
Something happened on his wedding day. From the time he came to me asking for help
with his tie, I saw how happy he was. His happiness was so evident all day. He never let up smiling, looking everyone in
the eye and dancing from the first to the last dance of the late night
reception. Everyone could see the
obvious evidence of his happiness, and I knew that he had picked the right mate
for his future!
The wedding was so beautiful not because of the dress,
suites, decorations or music but because of the blessing of two souls coming
together. I hope you get to feel this feeling someday, if you haven’t already.
But on that day, I knew that my son had followed his heart! And like my wife,
his wife is like no other woman that he had dated in the past. Hmmm,
interesting to think about. He made a
great decision.
Without a doubt, the best decision I have made was to see
the BEST in everyone, everything and every situation. I admit that I am by no means perfect at this
choice yet. Seeing the BEST in everyone, everything and every situation has already
made a dramatic difference in my life! I
am so thankful for this change in my perspective, and I invite you to take this
journey of seeing the BEST!
