I know what the spider is (divorce after 25 years) and yes I am out of my comfort zone. But I am having difficulty seeing the blessings. I will pray about it and try to see what it is. There are some I have already seen and enjoy but there is bigger stuff that is so hard and uncomfortable, I just can't see the blessings. I'll keep my eyes peeled. I have to be honest.

It is so easy especially this time of year to focus on our problems and frustrations. With holidays coming we should all be extra sensitive to seeing the spiders in our lives. God really does want to bless our lives. Thank you so much for sharing this story. What a great reminder this story is.

I had an auto accident on July 30, 2010 created by myself. Along came a spider is right on time. I asked myself later, after I calmed down, What's the lesson. What can I take from this to improve my life, my feelings, my thoughts. What gift is there in this incident. Who can I help by it. Along came a spider help me to appreciate my incident could have been worse. It helped me to be grateful for what I have, ask for forgiveness, learn the lesson and feel love for myself and others and move on. Joyful Greetings,

Another way of viewing it is that we need to be like a river. When the river comes to a rock, it flows around the rock and ends up in a place it wouldn't have been before if the rock hadn't been there! We must have faith that the rock is there because there is someplace better for us to be! It forces us to turn around and look at other options, options we would not have seen if a rock hadn't dropped in our chosen path.

I had been praying a few moments before and God already had, through you, His answer ready. Now my spiders don't look so scary any more. Thanks again.

We are dealing with a pesky spider or two of our own right now, and I've been losing hope that the blessings will ever come. Thank you for helping me see our spider for what it truly is. :-) I needed to read this today, Leslie.
