The winds of chance... Best viewed large!

Many things seem to be left to the winds of chance. I prefer to believe everything happens for a reason as a part of the Master's plan. It's easy to get wrapped up in our own problems and forget to stand on His promises. Nature reminds me that there is a greater intelligence than that of mankind and I am humbled once more by God's awesome creation.

A classical piece and favorite version for your listening pleasure... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlprozGcs80

Sometimes life isn't fair... I'm one who tries to find the positives even when thrown more negatives than I can handle. I'm trying my best to stay positive right now.
June 10th, 2012  
@sugarmuser Sharon, it's a hard fact that life is NOT fair and never will be. I'm trying to stay over on the positive edge, too. As much as I'd like bury my head in the sand and forget about it, I'm slapped in the face every day with the negative side of things. But I'm still fighting for my life and my home and a job. What other alternative is there besides giving in and giving up?
June 10th, 2012  
I am humbled by His creation every time I go out with the camera, Maggie. If not for His promises, I'd be lost. Beautiful photo.
June 10th, 2012
