Truthful Tuesday

Ok. Elizabeth over at Confessions of a working mom is keeping with the Biggest Loser theme and wants to know, truthfully, when was a time you were a loser but ended up a winner?  When did you lose something but it turned out for your good?

I had to think on this one, hard, because I never lost a husband, never lost a job, and rarely even lose my car keys let alone my car...But here is somethings I have lost and have gained in the time being....

I lost my practically domestic daughter when I "allowed" her to marry a military man,

and he wisked her away to Ft. Irwin, CA but in the mean time, I gained a son in law,

and one terrific little sunshine Grand son...

I lost my children to a thing called, "growing up" and "turning into adults,"

but in the mean time I learned what it means to raise up a child in the way he

should go, I learned unselfishness, and the importance of perseverance.

I gained three of my best friends and the joy of watching them choose life.

I once lost my original engagement ring, but you should see the doozy I gained...

That's all I can think of for now....I don't plan on losing anything else this year.
