The fragility of life

Within three hours, I was jolted to the stark reminders that God works miracles, and has his own plan that sometimes isn't how we expect it or want it to be.
How black and white the comparison.

But we should remember that He's got a plan, and He knows what He's doing, even if we don't.
We can get excited about shoes, opportunities, happy times, but momentus, life-changing events often can overshadow these.
Not that getting excited is a bad thing, but we need to have perspective. From all angles, including the now.

All we can do is to do things in the both short and long term.
Is that all? Is that enough?
