LIFE ALWAYS FINDS A WAY
No matter what happens in the world around us, Life finds a way to move through it. A devastating fire may burn thousands of acres. The aftermath may leave a black scar on the land where trees and homes once were. Time goes by, and months later new growth comes peeking through the soil, small flowering plants begin the process of new growth. In the forest new seedlings begin to grow from the seeds that were released by pine trees that required intense heat for their cones to open. Life finds a way to move forward.
The same thing applies to human beings. Challenges may seem like insurmountable obstacles until that first idea, that first stepping stone comes along. It might be a friend who shares an idea with you, a book that beckons you to pick it up and read, or something you see in an advertisement that draws you to a group of people that are going through the same experience you are. It might even be a faith center that draws you into its doors for the first time. Life finds a way to turn the challenges into stepping stones. Don't stay trapped inside trying to deal with a difficult situation. Look around for the support you need, because opening up to share what is going on may be the thing that helps you find a way to heal.
"We cannot change our past,,,We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety pecent of how I react to it. And so, it is with you...we are all in charge of our own attitudes."
Insight for Living, --Charles R, Swindoll
If you have something that you are going through, and you think you could never share it with anyone, be open to sharing it with a trusted someone. The load becomes lighter when you let life find a way.
Love and light,
