I Feel Privileged and Blessed

Life Lessons - the topic for the November, 2011, Sanctified Together Publication is online and ready to be read.

I have the privilege, once again, to be a contributing writer.  Below are some links to finish reading "Unwanted...Dead or Alive" (begun here)...

     When I think of "life's lessons," I wish to pull up great, easy lessons that would have taught me so very much, were a breeze, and gave me fresh life, revival of my spirit. They could have been lessons that grew me into such a fine and perfect Christian woman, made me a better person, helped me become more obedient, compassionate, gracious. But, there really are no easy lessons and there are no paths to earthly perfection. In reality, life's lessons start off, in most cases, as hard, unwanted, and overwhelming to a person needing to die to self. Hands fly upward, covering my head. Tears well up. I cower beneath feelings of failure, fear, resistance, ready to run, even before attempting to learn what God even wants me to learn.
     Of course, these lessons, wanted or unwanted, are from God Who knows just what I need.....

May you be blessed as you read lessons of faith from the hearts of many.

I have found that those hardest lessons are the ones worth learning...the ones that made me into the person I am. Such truth in your words, Linda.

Excellent post, Linda. I agree with Laura. Sometimes those life lessons go down like horrible tasting medicine, yet it is so necessary for life to return to the path God intended! ~ Grace
