Trials

Just something I was pondering.... trials seem unfair sometimes, but I have always been taught that they were for our good and that we would grow stronger because of them. It's like that quote, boiling water hardens eggs and softens potatoes... so which are we? :) I told my friend the other day, "I think having a lack of trials is in and of itself, a trial." Because really, you remain weak. Interesting thing to think about right? Any thoughts?

I Like that quote! That's also an interesting thought about a lack of trials being a trial. I've thought about that a lot in my life, cuz many times I feel so blessed and "trial free" and I think...is that bad? But then I wonder if it's just a perspective thing and we just can either be positive or negative during trials. I don't know...I'd like to read others' thoughts...

We've been blessed with a decent share of trials since we've been married, but there's always something to learn. We've grown a lot from our experiences. Sometimes a breather would be nice though. Ours always seem to come in threes. Always. And at least one hospital visit per set of three. Sure makes you appreciate good health when you have it!

Thanks for the great blog, you have such interesting thoughts!
