Thank you Linda Eyre for bringing to our awareness that challenging situations can actually be enjoyable.
A Secret called Serendipity. "The definition of serendipity is 'through awareness and sagacity, finding something good while looking for something else.' Be ready for the unexpected, serendipity usually happens because of a crisis or when you are least expecting it! It might be getting a great idea because of something your child said or did. It might be taking a minute to enjoy a gorgeous sunset. It might be getting a call from a long lost friend, just when you thought it was so important to accomplish something else. An annoying interruption by a child becomes an opportunity!"
Karrol Ladd tells us that "peace is not simply a feeling of euphoria based on calm surroundings. Peace is a perspective. It is a trustful realization that God is in control and has our life in His hands."
Through our daily chaos of rearing children, keeping a house, growing our spousal relationships, and caring for our own temporal and spiritual needs, we can find joy creating serendipitous moments.

It's kind of like when you are late for work/school and you get on the freeway and there is a huge wreck that just happened and you say to yourself, "wow if i had been on time, i would have been in that wreck! Thank goodness i was late today!" lol
