Looking Back

This is one of my favorite quotes.

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one, which has been opened for us.”
- Helen Keller -

I absolutely loved reading about Helen Keller when I was little.  What an inspiration she was. I have no doubt that she was being watched over by her Heavenly Father through all her struggles.  He gave her unique challenges and strength to handle them.  There is a scripture that describes this.  1 Cor. 10:13
There had to have been times when she wanted to give up but she kept going.  It reminds me of the donkey in a hole that kept getting dirt piled on him.  He would shake it off and take a step up till he was out of the hole and kept going.
