Refrigerator Front Wisdom

Usually, the front and side of the refrigerator in the kitchen are covered with magnets, kids' art work, newspaper clips, recipes, and so forth.

You get the idea. 

But lately, only a few things remain on the front since this old house is in the middle of a huge transition.

 An eventual move to an apartment, after 18 years in the house, in eminent. 

One of the tiny, glass-fronted sayings left on the refrigerator front is very hard to agree with these hot and sultry summer days.

It reads:

                      

                        May you trust God that you are exactly

                        where you are meant to be 

Really?  Caught, like a slice of bologna,  between a large house that was sooooo loved and an apartment, for the first time in decades?

 That's exactly where I'm meant to be? Okayyyyyyy.

Just like the old saying says, "If you cannot beat them, join them."

I will consider myself joined.  

HAVE YOU HAD TO MOVE LATER IN LIFE AND DOWNSIZE AT THE SAME TIME? HOW DID YOU DO IT?

I have heard this saying, and I've always loved it. Because where we are might not be where we expected or desired to be, but here we are.....and I do believe this message, as we are on this earth for many reasons, and not just for ourselves. I learned that the hard way when I moved three times in five years. Such a difficult process, but you are doing your best, Susan, and no one can ask for more. And this blog friend is thinking about you along the way, so know you are loved.
