so the truth is...
our greatest blessings and our greatest challenges often come in the same package...and if we back down from those challenges, we give up the blessings at the same time.
motherhood
marriage
death and loss
friendship
money
family relationships
and more, of course...
as a budget-concious mom, i appreciate the 2-for-1 concept, don't you?!
My friend, Lisa Nichols has just published her latest book, "Living Proof~Celebrating the Gifts That Come Wrapped in Sandpaper". It's an anthology of stories of people who have been blessed by adversity. Reminds me of Garth Brooks' song, "I thank god for unanswered preyers". HE knows how best to bless us and engineers the perfect circumstances for our perfect growth.
