Thankful Thursday

"Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge."
              ~Winston Churchill

It is difficult to give thanks for trials.  Let's face it--no one wants them!  I have been able to be grateful, however, for the lessons learned from trials.  I have wisdom now that I didn't have ten years ago, and I have a spiritual depth that was not there even five years ago.  Were it not for the "intense complexities", I would not have learned the "intense simplicities" that were waiting for me all along.  For these lessons, I am grateful.

So very true.
I, too am grateful for all that is learned from trials. Sometimes it is the only way we grow.
