Stepping closer to the light at the end of the tunnel

Hard times are inevitable--death, financial struggle, family problems,

the loss of a job, depression--all of these tough times are just

seasons. Abraham Lincoln once said, " This too shall pass, " and you can

apply it to both the good times and the bad. The thrill of a new

relationship won't endure forever, just as the grief of losing a loved

one won't either. So endure the hardships of life, knowing that time

will eventually heal your wounds and you will make it through. Think

about what struggles have occurred in your life and what they taught

you. No matter how dim the light at the end of the tunnel seems, it is

still a light. Each day is an opportunity for that light of hope to

get closer and closer, until eventually the clouds above your head

part and you feel the forgotten sunshine on you again. Overcoming pain

makes you stronger and better equipped to handle the next valley.
