I love the idea that these trials make us stronger... more mature... possibly more compassionate and tolerant.<br /><br />I love the story of Naomi where she returns home after losing her husband and sons, and says, "Don't call me Naomi. Call me Marra because the Lord has made my life bitter. He took me out full, but brought me back empty." Even so, He didn't leave her in her emptiness and bitterness. God used her sorrow as the stepping off point for her to become the great Grandmother of King David. She is a direct lineage to Jesus! Only use our bitter and painful experiences to bring life to us, and the world around us.<br /><br />Thank youf or your words.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450399183495034136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-57952015743471404282016-06-06T09:54:36.090-07:002016-06-06T09:54:36.090-07:00There are always depths not yet explored. Life is ...There are always depths not yet explored. Life is both simple and complex. Its complexities are what make it interesting. There are whole tracks of learning we've yet to discover. Even love has an endless quality to it. <br />I think one of the most challenging parts of being a caregiver or receiving care is the emotional aspects to it. There's a dullness that sets in that seems to sap the joy out of life. I'm trying to figure out how to reverse that aspect. It makes me drag through instead of seize the day.

Sure, I've let other people's trivial complaints irk me (and I've even done my share of trivial complaining), but at the end of the day, I find that I am more compassionate and forgiving than I ever was before my caregiving journey.blestbutstresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058280295906350992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-3694509164973802112016-06-06T04:37:39.200-07:002016-06-06T04:37:39.200-07:00Blessings upon blessings to you and yours.
