A girl I knew in college has now been in a wheelchair, paralyzed with MS, for nearly a year. In addition to waking up one day, suddenly unable to move her legs, she was four months pregnant, a pastor's wife, and already had five children!
Alicia's spirit and attitude is so inspiring... and convicting. If I were in that position, would I be as upbeat as she is? Her situation reminds me to be grateful that I can still walk... and for the loads of blessings God gives me daily (Psalm 68:19).
If you're feeling ungrateful or grumbly, check out her blog at http://comfortsfromgod.blogspot.com.
Thank you so much for this post! We need to be reminded that circumstances don't control our happiness it's our reaction to them that does.

ReplyDeleteMy name is Dayna Guenther. I am a preacher's kid from Flint MI. How absolutely incredible to find another "me".
ReplyDeleteWow! Cool! Does your family have a company Guenther Homes near Ann Arbor? My husband started Guenther Homes (www.guentherhomes.ca) here in Ontario in 1986 and is also a pastor. Small world, eh?
