The circumstances you’ve been given are your unique puzzle. You must find a way to put the pieces together and bring cohesiveness to it.
What if your husband is never perfect and your children disappoint and you fail, and you continue to have a lot of issues to deal with that are hard? What if these things never change? How will you live? Will you be a victim to your uncontrollable circumstances, or can you pursue a path of growing acceptance with grace, happiness that is beyond your circumstances? Can you arm yourself ahead of time with attitudes, rhythms of life that bring grace, a determination to create beauty amidst it all, even if nothing changes?
If so, you will construct a place of goodness, redemption, and life with the pieces you are holding in your own hands.
