Great story...had to share...The middle-aged woman ends up injured in a car accident. Paramedics rush her to the hospital. As she floats in and out of consciousness, she begs God to keep her alive. He tells her not to worry. He promises her a long, long life. It isn't her time to go. While she's in the hospital recovering from her broken bones, she figures she might as well get a few other things done. She opts for a tummy tuck, and, oh, why not get the breast augmentation? She has her eyes lifted and her nose reduced. She looks and feels like a new woman. She's so pleased with her new body and young face, she can't wait to show the world. Minutes after she leaves the hospital for home, a bus rounds the corner, slams into her, and kills her. When she gets to Heaven, she's furious. "You said I was going to live a long life. What happened?" He studies her face and says, "I didn't recognize you!"
If we threw all of our problems in a pile, we'd take our own back. Not because they are easier, but because we own them. Our lessons. Our honors. Our gifts. Our blessings. SO grateful for mine.

I once heard someone say that if our problems were shoes and everyone took theirs off and put them in the middle of the room so that we could trade, we'd go pick our own every time.
LOVE this post!!
