Life has many surprises

Life is full of surprises. Whether pleasant or otherwise!  We could only plan but has no hold on that plan. Why am I saying this?  Well, as I now seat here in our small living room, I’m trying to imagine how our house would have appeared had the original plan pushed through. It probably would have been much bigger with few more bedrooms with each having its own bathroom.   The bathrooms would most likely be the kind similar to what I see in the website of betterbathrooms.com., practical but beautiful.  But circumstances dissuaded us from achieving our goal. Now I can only surmise why it happened.  I’m just glad it did! I’m as happy anyway with or without the upper floor of the house. God is really good! He knows exactly what’s best for us!

Incidentally, I know a friend of mine would agree with me. ‘Cause she too went through a similar situation.  They have closed the deal with a construction firm for the building of their new house.  Everything has been settled but for reason unknown to my friend, the contractor kept delaying the initiation of the project. Until  my friend’s husband suddenly was hit by the disabling Ill health called stroke.  He was placed in ICU for weeks.  I was thinking, what if the “project” had started before this thing happened.  It would sure be a huge problem for my friend.  She definitely wouldn’t manage to provide the care her husband need if and when the project had started.  Thus, their house construction also went pfft.   Life has so many surprises indeed!
