Serendipity has been defined as an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident; the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for.

I feel my whole life has been one long string of serendipity, spun by the master Storyteller:

From my husband, and the exact fit we are, to the perfect chemistry of my children’s personalities, to our infant lifestyle of homesteading, I am learning how truly agreeable and valuable my life is.

Forced to make big changes in my eating in 2010 (cutting soy and gluten, and therefore most prepared or convenience foods), and discovering depression the same year, I still have plenty to swim through.

But I am reminded constantly that the Lord sustains me.  God gives good gifts, the perfect kind you didn’t know you always wanted.  And I am thankful.
