Just received this segment of an email from my Mum. It should stop you in your tracks:



'Thought you might like to see this paragraph that I extracted from an email sent out by ****** from ******* ****** who seems to be very near the end of an extremely long battle with cancer. I think this is a very useful little "life tool":

The plan of God cannot be changed by our decisions. His plan is good and eternal – what does change is the path we take to get there. We all are faced with decisions that will effect our lives – sometimes we will walk through the wrong door or make a wrong or bad decision and we will suffer the consequences. Those decisions do not effect the eternal plan - just the daily walking out of our lives. We get to choose how we deal with the things we are facing – the good the bad and the ugly. The only question is “in the midst of the circumstances that I like or don't like, who am I going to be?” The most important thing to remember is that in the end we win. This is a time to make sure that we (as Christians) really understand the eternal aspects of our lives and the lives of those whom we love. This is a part of God's plan that we don't like – but we know that liking or disliking the plan will not change it, it will only effect how we live in it. God is good all the time and we need to remember that during times when we just don't like what is happening. And here is a Kingdom principle – when we think God is not good all the time, it's our misbelieve in play, not Him.
