My friend's husband, Kevin, took a minor league baseball to the face yesterday. Fractured eye sockets, broken nose, shattered sinus cavities and now they are watching for swelling in his brain. I have no idea why these things happen. They just do. But even as they are listening to trauma cases come in - 2 gunshot wounds just this morning - in inner city Baltimore as they monitor Kevin's brain, they are blessed. Blessed it was Kevin that took the ball to the head, not their son Jeffrey. Who is only 4. Blessed that he is in the best trauma unit in area. Blessed her parents can come down and live with the boys. Blessed that they can be together. And blessed that his eyes are okay.We are blessed even in the darkest night, in the worst of circumstances. And perspective helps us see that. I pray that you will see the blessings in your own dark nights whatever they may be, however small.
Peace be with you ~

Yes, perspective is everything. Everything is relative. Perception is the reality. Always remember that, and the silver lining, or what some would call God's Plan, will accompany you in all circumstances. :-)
