It is true that what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger and if we choose to learn from it, it also makes us wiser. One of my sons said he could thank God for the good things that happen AND for the bad things that have happened in his life because they helped him appreciate the blessings.
I can thank God for the bad things too because the lessons that are painful are the most unforgettable. I grow up through the experience and I am able to share with others to give them hope.
Now when things happen, my outlook has changed. I say things are not done TO me; they are done FOR me. I’ve found that when I look at the struggles, the trials, and the unfortunate events that way, they change into blessings more quickly
