When The Perfect Life Isn’t Perfect

Katrina Trinko posted an article today at National Review Online about Ann Romney‘s battle with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Please follow the link above to read the entire article–it is inspiring. But there’s an aspect of this story. From the outside looking in, Ann Romney has led a storybook life–she has a successful husband, handsome, successful sons, a wonderful family, financial success, etc. But how do you handle it when your storybook life comes crashing down and you can’t even physically handle even basic household chores?

The story of Ann Romney should cause all of us to stop and realize how blessed we are. We may not have a storybook life, but we have our own story and we have our own gifts and treasures that God has given us. We need to remember when we see Ann Romney portrayed as having lived a privileged life, that she has faced challenges that would have defeated many of us. Ann Romney is a lady of courage who I believe would make a wonderful First Lady
