| "Heaviness" by Mandy Facer September 27, 2014 |
The trials, afflictions and aches of life often weigh on us. When
we find ourselves drooping, it can be tempting to wallow in doubt and
self-pity. We don't have to be trapped in our heaviness though. Instead we can follow the example of the rose and choose to look past our present pain; we can soak up
the lessons and blessings only available in this difficult period. If we do, we’ll
bloom stronger when the rain does pass.
