I read an interesting post today, People in our lives http://gtarman.wordpress.com/2007/12/16/87/ and it brought back lots of memories, about people who have stood by me, those who have made me what I am. I totally agree that we meet people because of a reason. God wants us to meet someone, so they can shape our life the way He wants….
I lost my father when I was four and a half, and every time I would think of him, I would burst into tears. It was only hen I was about 25 that I realised that maybe God took my father away from me so that I could be independent, because if he was alive, he would have pampered and cossetted me all my life. It was only this way that I, at last, reconciled myself to my loss…….
I also missed having no siblings, a feeling I got over when I made friends with Ashvin, who stood by me the way I always imagined a brother would…..
When I remember these people, I cannot avoid mentioning my uncle, who has been a second father to me, in fact, more than a father, standing by me, and helping me out at every point in my life, one to whom I turn , the minute a problem arises……
Truly, God has a motive behind everything that happens to us. We cannot hope to understand the reason behind everything that happens to us, but we can try to make the most of it, and get the best we can , out of the people we meet..
