Appreciating painful moments. And at some point you realize that there are more flavors of pain than coffee. Theres the little empty pain of leaving something behind graduating, taking the next step forward, walking out of something familiar and safe into the unknown. Theres the big, whirling pain of life upending all of your plans and expectations. Theres the sharp little pains of failure, and the more obscure aches of successes that didnt give you what you thought they would. There are the vicious, stabbing pains of hopes being torn up. The sweet little pains of finding others, giving them your love, and taking joy in their life as they grow and learn. Theres the steady pain of empathy that you shrug off so you can stand beside a wounded friend and help them bear their burdens. Everyone is down on pain, because they forget something important about it: Pain is for the living. Only the dead dont feel it. - Jim Butcher. Philipians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. We start the week in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
