Divine Distractions

During the hard times in our lives, I think that God brings us divine distractions.

These divine distractions can take many forms: a person, a project, a pet, or even a perfect book to read. I think God understands that during the not-so-great times of our lives, sometimes we just need something or someone to distract us from the hurt, otherwise we might wallow in our sadness and gain 20 pounds from drowning our sorrows in Ben and Jerry's (or in my case, Little Caesar's Hot and Ready cheese pizza).

During this particular hard time in my life, God has supplied me with several divine distractions that enable me to focus my energy on something positive, rather than dwell on the past. For this, I am very grateful and very glad that I am a child of God. I think He knows us so much better than we even realize.
