Hindsight Reflections

With the new year around the corner I can't help but think about this past year.  Thinking about joys, blessings, and bumps in the road.  That is when I really started to think about things way back in the past and started to reflect on the lessons taken from hindsight.

When looking back into a situation I can see the detour sign that I missed and wished I had taken the other one instead of the route I picked.  But looking back I can see the hand of God no matter of the choice I did make.   I won't go into detail here of all the detours I made because its the moment now and the future forward to rejoice in.  I learned from the detours and I was never alone.  I was being cared for by my Lord and Savior.  I was being comforted in knowing that he would never place to much on my plate for me to handle.  I was being lead by the greatest most powerful, all knowing, all loving leader.  Leading me where I needed to accomplish the most right (Godly) result in the end.

Despite anything I learned in hindsight the greatest comfort was knowing God was there.  I have experienced the pain and discomfort that learning in hindsight can bring but through the pain I was comforted and found peace.  Once again sending full credit and praise upward to the heavens above.

Thank you Lord for all the trials, situations, bumps, detours, and circumstances that I traveled through this past year.   

They were hidden blessings discovered in hindsight.
