Deep Thoughts, Shallow Brain Part 3
I was looking at something today and I saw this quote: "Adversity compels us to go to our knees; does gratitude for adversity do that as well?" I thought that was an amazing quote and it really made me think (I know gears turning in my head frightens many, sorry). I have not been through great adversity in my life. I have had a very great life filled with many blessings. Although it has been great, just like everyone I have felt adversity in my life. I think that it continually makes me a stronger, better person. I believe there have been times that I have thanked my Father in Heaven for my adversity, but maybe not enough. I believe it really has helped me to stretch beyond where I am at. If I look at the small challenges I have faced I do not think of how fun they are, but after going through them I see all that I have learned. I know that each challenge I have faced made me stronger and capable of so much more (not that I am asking for more). So, I believe that I will take that quote to heart and thank my Father in Heaven more often for the adversity that he gives me and for His desire to help make me stronger. Lastly I will try to always be grateful for His constant guidance to pull me through the adversity. Without Him by my side, it is doubtful I would be able to conquer it.
