Strawberry freezer jam, Is it a curse or a hidden blessing?

Yesterday morning while looking over the local adds I noticed that strawberries were “buy one get one free”! I immediately thought of making strawberry freezer jam. But was stopped short, realizing this was indeed a very scary thought. The last two times, I guess the only two times I have made strawberry freezer jam in our married lives we have moved. The first time was after living two years ID. My sister-in-law and I decied to make a bunch of strawberry freezer jam. A month later we moved to AZ. I had to leave it all behind. After living in AZ for four years one of witch was in our first home we bought. I once again saw those strawberries for sale and couldn’t resist. So with in a month or so we where on our way to TX and the jam got left with my mother in-law. So I had great fear after I had the thought of making my cursed freezer jam yesterday morning. So I called Blake at work with this scary thought. He suggested we try and break the curse, to go ahead and make it. Not an hour later I received a phone call letting me know that our landlords (because we rent) are putting this house on the market. We will be moving with in the little while. I was devastated, this time I didn’t even have to make the jam. Just the thought of making it was enough. Truly there is never a dull moment in our lives. I feel like we just moved here. The fact that I have spent more time in a hospital than I have in this house is mostly to blame for that. We were just getting back into a routine and feeling settled in again. Life felt like it may start to be some what normal. We found some options to help Bridger with his schooling. I had just got into a running pattern with a friend. Blake just got a new calling in our ward. And now we have to move! I some times feel like we never get a break, and then I cry. But I have to remember that each time we have moved we have been greatly blessed. It usually takes a while for us see our blessings because we have tears in our eyes from leaving loved ones, the fears of uncertainty and moving boxes surrounding us. Hopefully this time it will be a close move and we will stay right here in our town and ward. But like everything in our lives all we can do is put our trust in the lord. We have always been lead to where we needed to be. So I will try and think positive, “take courage” and remember the words to the hymn by Mary Brown, I’ll go where you want me to go. The first verse reads,

“It may not be on the mountain height. Or over the stormy sea, it may not be at the battle’s front my Lord will have need of me. But if, by a still small voice he calls, to paths that I do not know, I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in thine I’ll go where you want me to go. I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord, over mountain or plain or sea; I’ll say what you want me to say, dear Lord; I’ll be what you want me to be”.
