Lessons Learned (okay, I'm still learning:)

This is 'ole Max.  He looks pretty comfortable.  Wouldn't it be great if we  felt this comfortable all the time?  

In our lives, we're often hopping around trying to adjust ourselves around or away from discomfort (physical and emotional) in order to evade the reality of grief and nuisance.  But life is full of discomfort.  When we learn that grief and nuisance are inevitable and sometimes unavoidable we must also learn that there will be times we must plant ourselves in quiet stillness,  for in time, we learn that EVERYTHING (both the uncomfortable AND the lovely) do pass. E.P.L. (paraphrased)



Ecc 3:1  To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 

Words I want to remember.
