Endurable- Friday Rambling- Wk 27

There is a time in most everyone’s life where they are put in a position to wonder: Why me?

Whether it’s a devastating loss, difficult circumstance or unexplainable event- we need to mull it over. Perhaps there is a rhyme or reason that exists for life to torment…to expose our nerve endings to pain or suffering.

There well may be. I know not what it is.

One of my favorite Bible verses is: “It rains on the just and the unjust.” Rain is such a positive or negative occurrence, depending on perspective. There is no growth without it. No cleansing. Some yearn to have rain, but it does not fall. Some get far too much.

To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose.

There well may be. I know not what it is.

In the end, I have suffered, yet experienced great joy. Loved, but known great loss. To feel the heights and depths of emotional range does not seem to be a gift, but it has proven to be. It has soothed my wounds, while reminding me of others.

Light that demands your attention can blind, while pain can deceptively shroud the days in a haze of comfort. Is there a way to avoid such chasms?

There well may be. I know not if I would…

Have a wonderful weekend, friends- I love you! ❤
