In the "Mist" of Adversity

We all know that right now times are hard and things don't always, if ever go as planned. Adversity reminds me of rain, by definition adversity is the state, condition, or instance of serious or continued difficulty. Some days it will rain on the wedding day, rain when you forget your umbrella and rain on the only free Friday you have this month. But if we stop and think about rain, we notice that rain is needed for survival. It waters the fields farmers use to harvest crops, it moistens the soil in which we use to grow plants, it also cools down the earth on a hot summer day. And at the end of it all, It creates a rainbow. When your faced with adversity...or rain, take it with a smile. It may put a halt to an activity that you had planned or you might have messed your hair up right after leaving the hairdresser; but maybe you were destined to have a WELL MAINTAINED pony tail...lol and a family night opposed to screaming to the left to the left and patting your weave with B!...But seriously, adversity breeds character, without adversity you wont grow; you cant grow due to continued success...you do the math. You must know what the bottom feels like to know when you've reached the top. Its Todd with a lil food for thought.

  1. Hey Todd, it's Mom. Good words of advice but you know I take it from the spiritual perspective. Along with what you have so eloquently explained, The Lord allows adversity in our lives so he can can fulfill his purpose in and through us.

    Mom, back at ya!
