Do you believe things happen for a reason?

I've always felt this way but not really asked many people.
I listened to my elderly friend no matter that I would feel like a burden if I did. She was right.
I have been thanked, and they bragged on me, for helping when it didn't feel like I had done much.
One lady said " I believe things happen for a reason, that's why you're here."
I ran into an acquaintance in a parking lot, she told me what had happened behind my back. I was thankful. Made decision's for me easier.
Went to pay a bill, once again things were done behind my back, I didn't think she cared but did, she said " I thought, oh my God, I hope he didn't do anything to Angie."
So.......... People do see the difference in people that supposed to love me but obviously don't.
With that being said, life is not as bad or depressing as it was 10 days ago, because I knew I was not crazy, I just love to much and give benefit of doubt.
If I die today my mind is at peace.
Well, do you believe that things e for a reason?

Yes, everything happens for a reason be it bad or good. Bad teaches you to rectify the present and the good to move forward successfully and happily.

I do and I don't Angie.
I mean I do think good things happen for a reason, but the bad things..nah, don't believe there is a reason, at least not to me.
But I am so glad to hear you are on the up now and not the down of it.

I believe that the reasons behind what happens are bigger than we are. They are so much bigger. Yes, things happen for a reason and sometimes we spend our entire lives figuring out what that reason is.

As I look back in my life I know everything that happened was God being in control even though there is one thing I wish I could go back in time to change.

Yes, I certainly do believe that things happen for a reason and very much so my whole life has pretty much been based on that,

I definitely do believe things happen for a reason even if we don't know the reason at the time it's happening.

Sometimes. I have made decisions that worked out in my favor...and then other times they have not. I'm glad you are more at peace than you were two weeks ago.

In the movie "four feathers" A Muslim saves a Christian who was lost in the desert and in a state of delirium for lack of water. After recuperating, the Christian asks why, given that they were mortal enemies. "I had no choice, God put you in my way" was the Muslim's response.

Yes I do believe that things happen for a reason. Everything that happens teaches us something or other. Have a good day. Take care

no often things happen for no reason but we switch it around to say it happened to make us better people, which it doesnt ;-)
