It is so late in the evening, and at nearly 11:00pm, I am up well past my preferred bedtime, as the demands of the day have thrown me off of my routine, but I need to write at least a few words before I retire for the evening.
Today, I am grateful for my trials and adversities. Yes, grateful. And I sincerely mean that with every molecule of my beating heart.
In my lifetime, I have experienced many very difficult things, but through each of these experiences that tested and stretched my soul, there were lessons learned through all of it. Yes, they were all difficult, and I likely would not have ever had the courage in this lifetime to ask for these experiences in order to learn these lessons… lessons that gave me a deeper understanding and knowledge about life and faith and joy and God… and the purpose of this life and life hereafter. These were lessons that proved to be essential in navigating my life and for my spiritual growth and progression. Perhaps, I can write a little about each of these experiences and what I learned from each of them at some point, but for now, it sufficeth me to say that I learned a lot of precious things in the process of going through these very difficult adversities.
I had planned on writing a bit more than this, but I just looked at the clock again, just now, and seeing the time it is now, I really have to get to bed. But I’d like to return to this thought again tomorrow, and perhaps I can write about it then.
Nighty ‘ night.
