That's a very good analogy, Tammy. It's good to count our blessings, even though we didn't end up where we planned.

When I was a freshman in college (which was a far as I got!) a teacher assigned us to write down our plans for the next 5-10 years. We had to predict when we'd marry, where live, how much we'd make, how many kids, etc.

Ha! If I had followed my plan I'd be living in California. Instead, I'm living here in peaceful central Utah and will celebrate my 35th wedding anniversary tomorrow.

What's that song Garth Brooks sings about unaswered prayers? Yep, its good we don't always get what we think we want.
