Calling out to God for wisdom is the wise thing to do. And still at times, we wonder if we have made the right decision.<br /><br />But, as you so well noted, "Life is Not Fair." And this should be learned at home before they hit the big, world and are stunned by reality and filled with bitterness.<br /><br />Blessings on your hard work,<br />JanisJanis Van Keurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291628430833626275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573392140119733765.post-9601617163176450202011-03-06T14:56:01.927-05:002011-03-06T14:56:01.927-05:00Wonderful, insightful post.

He talked about how the child would have been completly content had he not looked in the other person's bowl and how often times as Christians we take what God has given us but we look at someone else's life and in our heart we say, "it's not fair."
