God’s Curveball

A young child is diagnosed with a genetic disorder that is destined to limit her ability to have a normal life. A mom is diagnosed with a brain tumor that has resulted in more questions than answers. A young lady is awaiting surgery for an unusual abnormality. Bad news seems to always come in threes. Life is fickle. And fragile.

God’s curveball creates perspective. We usually worry about things that are mundane in the long run. We argue and fight and jockey for position. We have this overwhelming urge to be right. Hollow victories don’t count. They never have.

We learn that what we think is important, is really inconsequential. Somehow we have to learn life’s lessons the hard way. I wish these three well on their road to recovery, and hope that we can learn from their circumstance. And we should all pause for a moment, to count our blessings.
