pain and recovery

Probably from the show Lessons in Chemistry, but I made the notes and forgot to source it, I got some of my own thoughts mixed in....  anyway, it is good stuff...

Pain is a teacher for those who are listening- - -
Pain makes us resilient, pain gives us a capacity to experience joy.  It helps us to appreciate the simple things of life.

When the sun is up and the sky is blue, it’s hard to experience joy, but when you come out of a dark night and you awake to the sunrise, then you will know what Joy really is.

When you don’t think you can move forward, when you’re sad about your yesterdays,  and you’re not sure of what’s going to happen tomorrow, there is still a purpose for you.  In those moments, your purpose is just showing up, being there and putting 1 foot in front of the other.  

One foot, one foot, one foot.
 It’s all you have to think about 
And then sure enough you’ll be home

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
