I also believe things DO happen for a reason...we may not understand what that reason is, but divine intervention has certainly reached His hand down and touched my life more than once. Even the bad things that happen help make a person into who they are. One little thing different in my life, one "better" (or worse) decision by my parents or myself and I might not have met my husband or had my sons. I would've missed out on the best (so far) part of my life. That's worth pretty much everything to me.
