The Thanksgiving Special
It took time to learn that dark times are important. I had always enjoyed the ‘flowers’ of life but it took thorns to show me the beauty of God’s comfort. You know, the Bible says that God comforts us when we’re afflicted and from His consolation we learn to comfort others.
Well, my experience says that the thorns make the roses more precious. We treasure God’s providential care more during trouble than at any other time.
Un ramo diferente
Me tomó tiempo aprender que las etapas sombrías de nuestra existencia son importantes. Aunque siempre me han gustado las flores de la vida, hicieron falta las espinas para que llegara a apreciar el consuelo de Dios.
Por experiencia, yo diría que las espinas realzan la belleza de las rosas. En los momentos difíciles apreciamos más que nunca cómo vela por nosotros la Providencia.
