Even the darkest, stormiest, most threatening cloud has a silver lining. Sometimes it hides a sunny day on the other side. But sometimes it shows up for no other reason than to teach us to dance in the rain. NO ONE who exits your life leaves you empty-handed. Everything has its purpose – even if it’s not the one you expect. Not everything is as it initially appears. So if you bit into the cookie expecting chocolate chip and found oatmeal raisin instead, realize that the chocolate chip might be what you WANTED, but the oatmeal raisin is what you NEEDED. Every person that’s not the right one comes into our lives to prepare us for the right one. Or to simply help us become a little more “right” ourselves. Sometimes what look like great big love is really a great big lesson. Accept it for what it is, forgive it for what it’s not…learn what it came to teach you and move on with gratefulness in your heart.
