Wednesday's TFTD


Master the lessons of your present circumstances.
We do not move forward by resisting what is undesirable in our life today.
We move forward, we grow, we change by acceptance.
Avoidance is not the key; surrender opens the door.
Listen to this truth: We are each in our present circumstances for a reason.
There is a lesson, a valuable lesson that must be learned before we can move forward.
Something important is being worked out in us, and in those around us.
We may not be able to identify it today; but we can know that it is important.
We can know it is good.
Overcome not by force, overcome by surrender.
The battle is fought, and won, inside ourselves.
We must go through it until we learn, until we accept, until we become grateful, until we are set free.

HUGS Mel. I love this one! You may laugh, but watching Evan Almighty (yes yes) this weekend - there was a point that I loved. G-d says "If you pray for patience, does G-d give you patience, or does he give you the chance to be patient?"

I love that idea. It's about using the opportunity to exercise patience, grace, thankfulness, love, selflessness etc.

I hope all is well is Mel's world.
