Believe it or not, I was taught many of these in nursing school and by my Spiritual Daddy. "Consider the greater good" is a hard one to remember. When things happen to me I often wonder why God might be punishing me or putting me thru something...but HIS plans are not always about me, they involve me but the end result is for someone else. Does that make sense? I think about how poor Moses' mama must have felt when she hid him. You reckon she was thinking she did something wrong... only to find that it wasnt about her, it was about "The Greater Good", God's people. OK I 'm going on & On,,,it was a good post & got me thinking!
